ODYSSEY -  A BODY IN TIME AND SPACE (2024)

Odyssey - A Body in Time and Space, is an exploration of space and time in relation to the body and mind. Rooted in the philosophy of how we perceive and build attachment to our surroundings, the project treats each photograph not as a passive image, but as a literal vessel holding space and time within its borders.To navigate this interplay, the work utilizes vast, abstract landscapes to experiment with scale and the sense of self. Within these immense, endless environments, the human scale is challenged to the point where it begins to dissolve. Losing this sense of scale and identity becomes a relief, a conscious letting go of the self into the wider cosmos.Light and time are intrinsically tied in this process. Light is the absolute key to the medium, without it, a photograph cannot exist, but it is the passage of time that gives it shape. By keeping the camera shutter open, extended exposures allow light to record time as a tangible, physical trace. Using a small light source blindly in the dark terrain, I create my own visible timeline within the frame. Because the image is fundamentally built from these recorded durations of light, using it to map out space means I am woven into its very fabric. Light becomes the direct representation of my presence, allowing me to fully become one with the photograph.Ultimately, the camera becomes an instrument to reshape perception rather than just document reality. By translating movement into these glowing, ephemeral marks, Odyssey transforms photography into an intimate tool for self-obliteration, blurring the boundaries between interior experience and the exterior world.

AGUAS QUE VAN QUIEREN VOLVER (2023)

José Larralde - Quimey Neuquén

“En tu desbocado potro pehuenche
Del cielo la onda noche
Se oye del viento la serenata
Tu voz la luna prende
En la negra cimba de mi araucana
Aguas que van, quieren volver
Aguas que van, quieren volver”

AN ODE TO MY BODY (2023)
Communitas - Nora Lezano (translated)

“The body is the result and testimony of all its operations - gone through or not - past and present.

Mass in transit and at rest.

As a whole or in parts it is weighted, valued, divided, named, known, ignored, recovered, represented, loaded, and unloaded with things, fluids, knowledge, ideas, and symbols. We place it -or it is placed- in the real world and in the ideal.
It stops, sits, moves, and dies. It stays, it comes, and it goes. We medicalize it, we drug it, we abandon it, we recover it, we lose it, we biologize it, we naturalize it, we fictionalize it, we count it, we weigh it, we fatten it, we lose it, we operate on it, we cut it, we add and disaggregate it, we deliver, we release it, we slow it down, we speed it up, we ask for it, we imagine it, we speak it and make it speak, we squeeze it, we hydrate it, we forget it, we dance it and we make it dance. It is present. It is absent. It is.

How is the truth demonstrated? Build or left? Do we impose ourselves on the body or does it impose itself on us?”
