STATEMENTS The statements series are inspired by the contradictions of contemporary culture. Slogans and hashtags are reminding us what matters, what doesn’t, what should and what shouldn’t. The new fetish of “speaking out” or “being woke” is something to acquire and show, like a status symbol or a trophy. There is always something - useless - to tell. Statements works are mirrors in which is reflected our political subconscious. We are the contents of a rapidly changing society in which people are having hard time to establish democratic dialogues among diversity. Slogans and politics are questioning the present times. My Statements are risky business. They ask one simple question: how contemporary culture can still survive its own ridiculous failures. URBAN LANDSCAPES (psychographic) The urban landscape works represent a permanent visual research of space and interaction. These works - crossing places, cultures, languages, divergences, convergences - represent the refusal of a given photographic reality. I manipulate the image by visualizing landscapes above the appearance, the photographic reality within its material experience. The appearance is meant through Sartre’s existentialist philosophy: Appearance is Existence. The imagery of these works focus on the interacting space, uncovering what din’t “appear” at first sight I mold my own ideal habitat using my own visual experience.
