Totem. With the photographs of caves and grottoes intervened in situ with light, I wish to speak about geological processes which we perceive as extremely slow compared to the speed of human cycles. The geological landscape that took millions of years to form has only very recently interacted with humans. During the creation of these images, points of light form an ephemeral grid that is superimposed for a few minutes over an ancient canvas, suggesting the brief encounter of man and planet and generating a non-lineal representation of human and geological history.

120,000.00 Light Years. 120,00 light years is a handmade reproduction of the
Milky Way created by placing lime deposits on a large black cloth. After this meticulous process the textile was illuminated and, once photographed, it was shaken so that the thousands of particles that formed its image dissipated in the air and the cloth remained vacant once again.
