STATEMENT
The condition of photography as a medium and its contingency as a representational tool
is pivotal topic in my practice and research. Different strategies are used
to sabotage the still and decontextualize subject, as the indexical is dependent of context.
Folding different representations of time and space in one single frame, frequently showing the
interruption of the negative and part of the following still, disclosing the performative nature of the
work and generating narrative possibilities. Serendipity and unpredictability
are key parts of the work, along with access to site and experience as it draws its content
from external sources. History and memory inform the work, which sees in Pictorialism and the early
photographers an affinity, not in the pursuit of painting’s pictorial qualities but attempting to render
light as if tracing a drawing.
