BRASSICALES series (2020 - 2021)
C-Type photographic prints from digital files (Ed. 1 + 1 A.P.) 
41x62cm / 16x24in



BRASSICALES series is mainly focused on exploring the impact of digital manipulation on contemporary image making. How relevant reality is in the pursue of a beautiful photograph? When I insert out of scale broccolis on my landscapes images I find the ensamble very plausible and real.

I guess there is some humour in this constructed reality, a melancholic sense of belonging that create an ambiguous visual narrative that is both playful and poetic. These photographs explore the gap between what we look at and what we believe we see.

We live in an era of fake news, political polarization and algorithms. Every day we are overwhelmed by beautiful images. As I build these landscapes I ask for a second look, for a longer observation. I offer a renewed perspective of a wider place within the world, leaving some space for the hidden and the unnoticed. My works are fragments of memory and imagination. Photographs testify I have been there, I am not negotiating uncertainty. It is just a new reality, where fiction distorts fact.
