Darkness Lines

Carl Andre has turned a horizontal surface in sculpture, revealing the Art self-reference.
I have photographed a horizontal surface, revealing the artist solipsism.

The pavement outside my house, built in the late 70s, her wrinkles, the traces of time passing, the vagueness of my eyes, the memories that crowd my mind

The personal feelings transform inert surface into a space full of signs by which the photographic medium marks the boundary between the real image and its transfiguration into something other than itself, by introducing the concept of the ambiguity of reality and revealing itself as the main discontinuity factor and rupture with the world around us.

Darkness Lines is a work that defines the uncertain border between what we think and what we see.
The exhibition, thought for the event "European Photography Section Off", also has another work closely related to the photographic series described above and which make by the fragmentation the reason for its existence.

People is an photographic installation which arises from my desire to visit an exhibition and have the opportunity to touch and get a piece of some exposed workers. The appropriation, by the people, is a project that interests me. I thought giving this work, by which anyone may to get one of 210 photos (dimensions 11x15 cm.) put on a panel of 1.70 x 2.10 meters.

The photographic image is destined to survive in its fragments. Every photo / fragment have to the date and the signature of the artist on the back.
The work is redundant in its contents: it represents a crowd of people and is done for becoming ownership of those same people.
