~ Natural Fiction ~

 

For some years I have been exploring landscape as a subject through different works, but my real interest is to question the concepts that we have about reality and its perception.

 

I have been using photography in the Natural Fiction series because of the sense of reality that photography comprises. This becomes a paradox, because the photographs show the evidence of a real space, but the fictional landscapes I create are showing the contrary. Consequently, the final image is a fiction that produces a new reality.

 

These images in some cases recreate impossible landscapes, games of presence and absence, that constantly question the limits of the viewer’s perception. When I choose the photographs for a new composition I expect that these images transcend the simple photographic medium, operating like the material for a collage.

 

I like the moment when a place finds its pair in another geographic space, because for me landscape is already a constructed idea.
