All the modern conceptions of the world are based on the illusion that the so-called natural laws are the explanation of the natural phenomena.

Wittgenstein

The fact that I work between two realities meanings from one situation to another. Single out and extrapolate visual information and meanings from their original contex, placing them within a new environment. Not only doing the transposed form change in meaning, communicated with new environment that it inhabits, but the venue becomes open to various interpretations that also gain in meaning. Proceeding by analogy, which supposes an acute sense of perception and heightened powers of observations, to achieve indepth knowledge of the two elements that are drawn together and compared.

Displaced Fractures

 

Books, Concrete
Variable dimensions
2012/13
Most of the monuments around us are the ones whose existence we no
longer remember.
Since time immemorial nature has brought matter to a halt and we can
witness these fleeting moments. It is memories for the future that
have been carved into these testaments on displaced pedestals. They
are conjuncted collages of observation pulsations on the interaction
of the creations of man and nature.
In this epoch, busy with choice and picking options, also monuments
have become an imperative of moments captured in books, magazines and
DIY photographs. Capturing the disappearing, halting the never
recalled, stopping the unstoppable is the source of these fractures.
