Lazy eye

When I was 2 years old I was diagnosed with strabismus. Each of my eyes points in a different direction. This 'duality' has impacted many aspects of my life, often leaving me immersed in a rigid binarism, which I am still working to integrate today.

When I was 2 years old I was diagnosed with strabismus. Each of my eyes points in a different direction. The left is the one that focuses and looks at 'what matters', while the right, the 'lazy' one, gives me a much blurrier and peripheral vision. Strabismus, as they say, reduces the ability to perceive in three dimensions, and makes our vision more 'flat', two-dimensional.

This duality has impacted many aspects of my life, often leaving me immersed in a rigid binarism, which I am still working to integrate today.

I feel 'divided' between my native country (Argentina) and the country to which I migrated (Spain). I live in the countryside surrounded by nature, but I work organizing raves in Barcelona. I practice yoga every day, and then I get lost in parties, going from deep silence to 120 decibels. I have a passion for analog and paper; however, I live immersed in a frenetic digital rhythm. I feel suffocated by excessive European order and control, but I fear chaos in Latin America. There I am a gringa, while here in Europe I am a sudaka.

I'm stuck in this 'pendulum logic'. Taking photographs helps me connect with the beauty of my processes, to understand the landscapes I inhabit, to be able to integrate textures, sensations and fears, to balance my rhythms of life and, above all, to take perspective and see things in a different way, more playful: understanding that in the end, it's all about playing.
