Fluid Time - An (en)Visionographic Chicago Story

This series is a story of the architecture of Chicago, where I'm using the characteristics of the blur that the tilt-shift lens can create and of the long exposure technique to see and present architecture as a parallel reality, as a dream and a gate towards our subconscious world, to our desires and aspirations. What I want to convey with my study is that time, space …they are just conventions. Living inside them can be just as easy as living outside them and the reality of living outside them can be just as real as the one of relating to them. Dreaming can be reality just as imagination can be reality as well. Who says that the world needs to have a material shape to be real?

She is the creator of the term (en)Visionography™ that defines fine art digital photography, a genre that has to do more with the vision of the artist than with the subject or how the camera captures it. This theory reflects in her personal creative and processing method, Photography Drawing (PhtD™), method based on how to process a black and white image by using the principles of classical black and white drawing.
