Juan Manuel Samusenko PORTFOLIO
Ă rtico
Ă rtico I opened the window just to feel that the cold wind is able to make me feel alive, almost the same way I feel when I am with you. I have opened the window to feel that my ideas are freezing and all those noisy voices in my head are silenced. Ă rtico, is a book of introspective reflections, written by L. Black Smith. I made a cover for each chapter, inspired by your texts, and with a strong relationship with the Arctic theme, and constantly referenced to the time of the first expeditions, all with a relationship to discover fantastic forgotten places.

GotelĂŠ GotelĂŠ, is a music band that is included within the pop rock. His latest album, vertical, talks about themes such as overcoming, hope, courage, and risk. Trying to follow your dreams even if they are difficult and risky. It's about climbing high, assuming the height, the risk of falling, and continuing to climb. The project was presented to me with the only premise that they were interested in themes such as clouds and sky. As a result of these concepts, I took out a whole imaginary, playing with the duality of risk-game, making references to slides and trampolines.
Design and illustration of Gotele's Vertical Disc 2018 Digital collage, photoedition, layout.
It is worth noting that some of the games on the disc, all of which refer to the fall, to heights, looking downwards, while the CD, which refers to the dream, in an aerial view above the clouds, presupposes that there is a floor beneath it; however, when the CD is removed, we discover a starry glimmer. In clear relation to the dreams and aspirations that are to be achieved.

Song cover, Centeno 2018 Cover for the Gotele Group, for digital platform
Te recuerdo en el umbral, de mi puerta y hasta arriba de maletas. Cada bulto, una cuestión. En tu cara, todas las respuestas. La idolatrabas, como un cura que sólo piensa en su misa. Como el sueño que, al despertar, se rompe y no vuelve más. No tenías más que perder, aquel amor había sido tu único ayer. I remember you on the doorstep, from my door and all the way to the top of suitcases. Every lump, one question. In your face, all the answers. You idolized her, like a priest who only thinks about his mass. Like the dream that, when you wake up, it breaks down and never comes back. You had nothing else to lose, that love

Stanislaw Lem Illustrations for an article about science fiction writer Stanilaw Lem for the physical magazine El Salto (May 2018 issue).

The first, meditative science fiction, where he speaks of human insignificance before the cosmos, and the second, satirical science fiction, where he narrates the misfortunes of a spy on the moon.
Expulsados [...] and you put it on a hundred times before you even hear side B. They're the best known songs you don't want to miss. Over and over again. Until you turn the tape over and start listening to lyrics of stories that lift the skirt to that beautiful, elegant and traditional city. The other side of the postcard is not so bright, nor so elegant, nor traditional; it's darker, more rickety and rogue. The two cities rarely meet, but if they do, it is with some historical respect for the conflict. Cover design for the book Expelled by Oscar Allende, Guillem Ruisรกnchez and Eva Mora, for the publishing house Libros.com. The book, through research work, tells the story of the gentrification processes of Santander throughout its history.

Género ¿Y el futuro del western? Quizá, en la actualidad puede parecer un género caduco y quizá, de tanto en tanto, aparezca algún nuevo título. Pero lo que sí es una realidad es que muchos de sus códigos, de sus estructuras, subsisten en films de otros géneros como el policiaco caso de No es país para viejos (No country for old men, Joel y Ethan Coen, 2007) o la más reciente Comanchería (Hell or high wáter, David Mackenzie, 2016) que cuenta con un Jeff Bridges en estado de gracia.
