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.
