Fragmentation
Photographic series of 4 shots.
Limited series in development.
Group exhibition Mandrágora at Casa de Lo Matta, March 2025.
Fragmentation explores identity at the moment when the face—its primary guarantor in contemporary culture—disappears. By covering it, the work shifts recognition away from visual certainty toward an unstable territory where essential questions emerge: who am I, where do I come from, what constitutes me.
Fragmented figures, suspended bodies, and oneiric settings interrupt narrative logic and propose states of consciousness rather than descriptive scenes. Within this space, identity is constructed and dismantled through social, emotional, and biological layers, with no possibility of definitive closure.
The work pays tribute to artists from the surrealist imaginary such as René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Giorgio de Chirico, Mati Klarwein, and Ravassa, establishing a dialogue with their symbolic and metaphysical universes.
Here, the image does not seek to affirm, but to create tension. Fragmentation understands identity not as a fixed form, but as a process in constant transformation—an open fissure where the self reveals itself as search, drift, and experience.
