ORIGINAL Astral Space Photograph

The transformation and evolution of nature are central themes in my work. The observation of a natural space and its subsequent transformation produces new emotions and new perspectives. My most recent work raises future natural spaces, based on observation and two central axes: the transformation of nature by human action and the evolution of climatic phenomena. Starting from decontextualized photographic images, I propose the vision of landscapes where, fictionally, new technologies partially replace the real world. In the same way that nature is continuously transformed by elements contributed by man, in my images I introduce elements that alter landscapes, in order to create representations of new -future- natural spaces. The elements that I use are usually other photographs, as a collage, and compact digital masses of color, which work as a contribution to the landscape, and that decontextualize the original image. The use of these abstract and non-photographic masses of digital color makes the images have a new meaning, and require a new reading and identification on the part of the viewer. I like to break the limits of photography and create images that conceptualize abstraction and digital media as part of the natural landscape. These works invite the viewer to identify them with familiar climatic phenomena and landscapes: cloudy skies, the beach, a storm, mountains, a swimming pool, fire, winter, etc. In this way, I want the viewer to react to an invented natural space, and this remains in his memory as a place he has already visited. and/or
