Eloi Biosca, (The Grape Harvest)

Eloi Biosca is a Catalan photographer, filmmaker and sculptor. His work focuses on the male nude in all artistic forms and mediums. In his current series, he intends to show the beauty of the male body when it appears completely naked and in motion.

“I believe it’s important to create sequences in slow motion which the contemplation of a nude man moving can generate a strong visual attraction capable of seducing the spectator by the beauty of the images, and that from the aesthetic pleasure that they can provoke, if possible, caressing one’s sensuality. I think it’s a shame that these days we cannot watch athletes acting and competing in the nude, as was normal in ancient Greece. Clothing obstructs and hides the view of muscles, tendons, nerves, and veins in action, and it impedes the contemplation of all those elements in a fascinating concert as the player makes movements and gestures endowed with great beauty.”

“He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars. —Jack London, The Call of the Wild

In Eloi Biosca’s slow-motion film “Córrer 2”, a naked athlete appears running along a pathway. This video is a celebration of the beauty of the male nude body as it runs in absolute freedom, in a natural and wild environment. The body movements are a powerful stimulus for the spectator to experience aesthetic pleasure and sensuality.

The film was first screened at the First Festival Cindeporte of Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2014. Since then, it has been shown in multiple festivals throughout the world, including those in Spain, Germany, Norway and Peru.
