“If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.”
Gaston Bacherlard
The Poetics of Space, 1965
This project is born from the need to explore the space of sleeping and resting as
an escape and a fantasy. The images are an expression of the desire to get out of
reality and the physical condition, of the pure body, to which the virus has returned
us. At the beginning of the confinement, I had the feeling that my body was
something that hurt me and that it could easily fall apart. I began to make these
images and as an act of resistance to that violence that I was experiencing. I turned
to photography as a possible space in which to invent a place with vestiges of what
does not exist.
