Read MoreEste mes de abril de 2024, Valparaíso Ediciones tuvo el honor de presentar "El individuo y su ceniza", el primer poemario del poeta costarricense Pablo Saborío. Publicado por una editorial de renombre internacional con delegaciones en España, Colombia y Estados Unidos, el libro está ahora disponible en librerías a lo largo de España y puede adquirirse también a través del sitio web: https://valparaisoediciones.es/tienda/poesia/832-401-el-individuo-y-su-ceniza.html
Pablo Saborío, quien reside en Copenhague, Dinamarca, es un artista multidisciplinario cuya poesía ha sido reconocida en numerosas revistas literarias internacionales incluyendo Columbia Journal, Conduit, Posit, DASH, y West Trade Review. Además, Saborío contribuye en el ámbito literario como editor de poesía de la revista Red Door Magazine.
El libro, "El individuo y su ceniza", se presenta como una exploración profunda y meditativa del ser. Ángela García, poeta laureada y ganadora del XXI Premio Casa de América de Poesía Americana, describe la obra como un intento de desentrañar el viaje ontológico sin depender de coordenadas geográficas ni temporales. García resalta la capacidad de Saborío de aproximarse a temas trascendentales "sin llegar a la cumbre", disfrutando del proceso de búsqueda y la constante exploración del laberinto de la vida.
El poemario abarca temas de introspección y contemplación universal, reflejados en poemas como "Insaciable", "Qué sería nunca llegar" y "Del arte", donde Saborío utiliza su voz única para invitar a los lectores a una reflexión sobre la naturaleza efímera de la vida.
En un gesto de celebración por este lanzamiento, invitamos a todas las instituciones y medios de comunicación a promocionar "El individuo y su ceniza" en sus redes y considerar la organización de eventos en los que Pablo Saborío podría presentar su obra en persona. Este lanzamiento no sólo marca un momento significativo en la carrera de Saborío sino también en el panorama literario tanto costarricense como hispanohablante.

From the event’s description:
Red Door presents THE COLOR OF UNCERTAINTY, featuring the latest works by Costa Rican-Danish artist Pablo Saborío.
After a period of unrest, isolation and existential uncertainty, Saborío wrestled with the darkness of his mind to create new works that explore the potency of color as a means of achieving catharsis – the purification of emotions through art, which culminated in a sense of renewal.
The works exhibited feature pulsating fields of dynamic frenzy while simultaneously (and paradoxically) being in a state of composure. Saborío utilizes different mediums such as paper pulp, ink, acrylics, and wood on acrylic glass to create stunning effects.
These are some of Saborío’s ‘last paintings’ before he transitioned toward video poetics, a merging of experimental video art and poetic discourse.
THE COLOR OF UNCERTAINTY will also feature a display of many of Saborío’s video productions.
Beer, wine and refreshments will be served for the opening.

Many have come here before to ask the question. They marveled at the columns and the noise. The incessant murmur of structure emerging within and around itself. They viewed everything as process, energy evolving and dissolving. This is such a time when boundaries and definitions return to a shapeless condition. It is not in vain that you ask for the meaning of meaning. To wonder why colors are glued to one another in orgasmic combinations, why the universe seems so fragile and poetic.
Now, we can approach this in two mutually exclusive ways. You have the power to construct a language around everything you see. Or you can enter this experience without the aid of interpretation. This juncture is vital. Taking the first road will have you walk through life as an atom bouncing off the shells of endless situations. Taking the second road will produce a dance, a field where experience makes ripples similar to illusion traveling through the infinite surface of a dream.
Here is a doorstep and below a gigantic void. The leap is not escapism, but recognition of the futility of narratives that create and re-create themselves without our control. We can move calmly into the unknown; allowing everything to lose its identity and dissolve back into a dream-like cosmos.

Statement for solo exhibition Pablo Saborio's Return to Source (Oct 22nd - Nov 22nd) at Red Door.
We have reached a point where we no longer have experiences. We conceptualize every experience; we interpret and define what is happening at all times. We are, as it were, jumping from concept to concept rather than from experience to experience. Our reality has become an island of thought and we have forgotten the immensity of silence that lies beyond the shores of thinking.
Return to Source is a challenge to this mode of existing; a reminder that prior to language and thought, there is awareness.
All the works for Return to Source are titled ‘In Silentio’ (in silence).
People are invited to experience the art without the aid of concepts or interpretation.
