What happens when the idea of disappearance is latent? What do you do when you feel like you’re going to disappear? How do you avoid disappearance?
I was not talking to anyone and after not saying a word I started to disappear.
One of the first symptoms that I was disappearing was the black spot that had grown around my eye.
I was disappearing mentally and physically.
The second sign of disappearance is that I began to forget my name.
I tried to avoid disappearing by photographing myself every day, but irretrievably some parts of me had already vanished.
……
These images are photographic gestures through which my body tries to resist the constant fear of disappearance. I try to leave a mark on the possibility of an absent mind and body, photography being the only means I can find to make that presence tangible.
