Everything I have loved, I have loved in an impossible language

How can you maintain a loving relationship across artificial borders? Luiza from Brazil and Carlos from Mexico. In this project, they address the complexity of being together due to the migration process and the difficulties of working in the arts.

There is something missing. In the frame, the promise that is not fulfilled. How can a loving bond be sustained across invented borders?

Luiza is from Brazil and Carlos is from Mexico. They met in a photography program at the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City in 2023. In this project, they address the complexity of being together due to the bureaucracy of the immigration system and the professional difficulties they face in the field of the arts.

In the images, they establish exchanges based on trust and vulnerability. From an imaginative impulse, they experiment and open themselves up to a common photographic territory, as if words allowed one's dream to become the other's stage. As if, for a moment, love could be translated into an almost possible language.
