This photo series started in 2015, is a non-scientific and non-artistic research of the difference between the image “given” by the mirror and the one “given by the camera” of the people who agreed to participate.
For this I built a device in which the camera “sees” through a mirror that can then be removed.
The participants were asked to take two self-portraits: one in which they see themselves in the mirror and one in which they only see the camera.
The one on the left is the image in the mirror.
The starting point for “Still Untitled” is my long-standing practice in photographing artworks, guided by the principle that a photograph of an artwork should not be considered an artwork itself.
For this series, I created unstable and/or ephemeral objects and structures solely to be photographed. These objects and structures are constructed directly in front of the camera lens and are made in such a way that they achieve three-dimensional coherence only in their two-dimensional photographic representation.
It’s a reversed process. In art reproductions, the photograph aims to hide its presence, functioning like a window through which the artwork is viewed. In these photographs, the subject is volatile, and its representation is the artwork.
