Work, the social space where people operate producing goods or services, for a social or cultural benefit, creating ties, and establishing behaviors. lt is al the same time, a place where individuality is deconfigured, transforming them into one more piece of the intricate gear system that makes up the current labor pawning their own creative powers. A place of annulments. 

Annulments

Reverse is a photography project, where investing the object, implies investing the look and with it, the thought and a new perception on what we see and what looks at us. Consider the reverse of household ítem, anticipates an attitude of immersion in his role concealed, disguised. Also in the dynamics in which the notions of valid and improper, lawful and useless, erected and framed the doctrine of our societies. 
This act validates the possibility of considering the domestic object as a sphere, rolling, without a single point of support, where all edges are useful and visible. with its uncovered structure 

Reverse

GRAFTS is a reflection of the gestures that build urban epidermis. Wrapping, covering, bandaging are recognizable acts on the large urban stage. The city is decoded as ductile manufacture of the collective behavior and with it a series of protection and concealment strategies. 
Taming these strategies allows us to reconstruct a new language on domestic objects, humans, and our immediate space, home. The displacement and recontextualization of these gestures allow plastic and performative reading of the urban epidermis and a reflection on the acts that invade our daily life. 

GRAFTS Phase II

Going out has become our most immediate goal, to interact and retake our social roles trying to recognize ourselves again in that outside that apparently defines us.

Under this scheme, magazines, so abundant at home, they have always been a window to the world. An aspirational life model for a woman who considers herself empowered and successful. It is through these women that I find in magazines, that I seek to visit my house under a different gaze and build other worlds with them.

The construction of the image does not seek to camouflage the nature of paper, which becomes visible in the intrinsic nature of the cut, but it does seek to make the gaze uncomfortable, to force every day and the scale of what we usually know. To rethink our domestic space in a city environment, dynamic and spontaneous as it happens in the city and in life.
