A photograph is a fossil of time
In continuing my multidisciplinary practice that intertwines different elements, stories and materials together, here I look at photography and the photograph as Fossils Of Time. A way of seeing and grasping a moment, in its spirituality and materiality. Tracing human life, dreams and struggles, by digging in life, extracting its symbols and language by experiencing it as a story archeologist, that collect those traces, symbols, elements and materials. To transform it from the photographic to the sculptural, a physical three dimensional fossil of our moments and time on this earth. This work also traces a creative process, from where does it start, from where it takes its inspiration, to where it goes and how it materializes.
A photograph is “this moment was there”
A sculpture is “we were here, and this is our trace”
