Vores

The truths of vision, between what is contained in the mind and observable matter. Between one’s own internal universe and the external universe of infinite matter.

The veras are sensitive, they envelop, they point out changing limits. The truths are the real frontiers, not the official ones, hidden even when they make cry or shudder. The truths are emotional.

This is a series of photomaterics, of natural motifs. All the forms have been found, not sought.

The technique of enlarging the object on the paper, the direct photogram or monotype, with the implicit and equivocal game between positive and negative image, has been followed. The light has been applied by instinct, without previous measurements. The photochemical processing has not always been orthodox.

Veras is an exploration of the limits, of the myths that inhabit us, and also a verification of matter as the habitat of the image.
