AN ABYSS OF EVERYDAY LIFE

In the photographic series called "An abyss of everyday life" from 2009 the light plays again an important role symbolic and aesthetically. These are backlighting pictures taken by a voyeur point of view in where the characters watch an empty background that gives off light. The white light talks about the invisibility of the image because it has lost their iconic straight due to the excess of them. They become a white light that is no anymore able to communicate and paradoxically cannot light or clarify.

The elements and space, which the sets are comprised of, give away the artificiality of the scene, but the situations are habitual and prosaic, and represent an everyday moment. The elements in the images are unreal; some of them still have their price tickets spoiling the trick of the image. The furniture is repeated in various scenes that join together to create a formal unit that gives the impression of uniformity. It’s shown the other part of the spectacle, the public who watch. The personalities gestures, despite being normal, show their total isolation. The format and the material is designed to look like a window.
