About
My work looks upon the photographic medium itself. It engages with different subjects such as history, science, and other non-artistic practices with the aim of questioning the very nature of photography.
I like to reverse the role of things, the referent and the referenced; the interpretation between what is seen and what is perceived, as a game of illusion between day and night. My current work questions the interconnectivity between optical mirages, images and the act of seeing.
