Under
the light of irreverence.©
This photographic portfolio is called “Under
the light of irreverence.”
I started working this portfolio about a six years ago it all started when the wind took inside my garage the ripped page
of an old book which was a bit burnt.
I saw this as a wonderful gift and I
began to photograph old pages and books, making hand made interventions on
them, always looking to produce a
direct harsh light, along with intimidating shadows.
I'm constantly hunting for books at flea
markets , in places where they give them away for free, what interests me is to
give new life to those texts that nobody reads anymore I´m looking to request a
new form , a structure, an entirely new representation from a book which has
been virtually abandoned.
I'm aware that I 'm shooting this in the
light of irreverence , as I am physically altering these manuscripts in order
to preserve them. I know, this sounds like an ambivalence.
This is a work on progress, there is still much work and research.
