REPRESENTATION

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am using photography as a medium for the visualization of imagination and absence.
My aim is to ask for new and alternative access to photographic image production and their representation. In my current body of work I combine images that deal with physical, narrative or human abscence. Most of my works are either related to personal stories or theoretical based, I use to refer to Lacan and Borges.
