Somewhere or maybe everywhere … without script, perhaps like many others, restricted by a minimum budget or better yet, not thinking about budgets.
I choose to work from what I find, from that others have left. The image starts as a riddle formulated between the places I live, things and materials collected.
Someone observes from beyond. Maybe is a neighbor who sees me under the bridge collecting cans, or the gaze of that who finds those objects in an exhibition gallery, evoking what flows under the bridge. Both cases are for me acts of survival.
I try to synchronize myself with places, to hear what the material proposes and follow the way marked by the circumstances. The image is always provisional. It works, but barely, just enough.
I insist on a premise. I am aware that something magical could be happening.
En algún lugar o tal vez en todas partes… sin guiones, quizás como tantos otros, condicionado por un presupuesto mínimo o mejor aún, sin pensar en presupuestos.
Elijo trabajar desde lo encontrado, con lo que otros han dejado. La imagen se inicia como un acertijo que formulo entre los lugares que habito, las cosas y materiales recolectados.
Más allá, alguien observa. Tal vez un vecino que me ve bajo el puente recogiendo unas latas, o es la mirada de quien encuentra en una sala de exposición esos objetos evocando lo que corre bajo el puente. Ambos casos son para mí un acto de supervivencia.
Procuro afinarme con los espacios, escuchar lo que el material propone y seguir el rumbo que marcan las circunstancias. La imagen es siempre provisional. Funciona pero apenas, sólo lo justo.
Insisto en una premisa. Estoy atento de que algo mágico pueda estar ocurriendo.
