Before Effect

The main theoretical characteristic of my artistic work is the one operating within the discourses of photography from their very inception: the relation of its medium to reality. The artistic strategy that I have pursued in my work so far consists in using the most traditional means of photography to create images that masquerade as being digitally manipulated. My photography leans on realistic material but desires to challenge it: photos that doesn`t exist in space and time; are lacking any information about the place they`ve been taken at; photos that are objectified through a realistic point of view, but tend to create a foreign and meta-physical sphere. The "truth" values of my photography are being mobilized to form false territories: flat, un-realistic, fantastic, anti-materialistic, non-characterized in the subjective sense. It is a photography that makes a radicalization of the optic dimension and its bi- dimensionality as an object. Glare, dazzle and flatness, change values of shadow and light, nuances of volume, texture and outline. My works are pursuing a double strategy, deconstructing the reality/illusion opposition in the conception of the photographic medium, seeking, at the same time, an alternative truth-image of the human body and objects in the outer world. It is a study of representation and what lies behind it; a conceptual crack in the organizing principle of things; and a foray into the almost supernatural.
