Weekend Portfolio
Nights of solitude and silence, wandering astray, restless, through the sleeping city. Always in the quest for some light to beat the darkness, a mirror to find the desires, fears, dreams and wounds that shape the self identity. Finding in the others one’s own hidden faces: the weakness ...

Weekend Portfolio
The line between urban and suburban -- a mix of aging strip malls, modest bungalows, ubiquitous gas stations, and solitary pedestrians -- has been the focus of my recent photographic work. I refer to these settings as "middle urban," and I've approached this photography (particularly the houses) almost ...

My first inspiration is humanist photography. I began in 1997 in the studios of the Centre de l’Image in Mexico and showed my first films in their makeshift labs, composing photographic scenes on the trails of Indian villages and in the streets of Mexico City. I further developed my vision during my t...

Weekend Portfolio
Ripped open buses, turned over earth, exploded cars and, here and there, overequipped soldiers, rooted to the spot, proudly showing off their heavy weapons. And then suddenly everything comes alive. They crawl, shoot, run. They kill and die. But not for real!

Weekend Portfolio
Mexico is a country very close to my heart, it is a place of constant contradictions, on the one hand throughly modern and the other very traditional. I recently managed to spend a few weeks there travelling across the country with no particular plan apart from looking at people, places a...

Weekend Portfolio
Who said the body is a finished thing? Is it not bone, flesh, and skin making up a head, a torso, arms and legs? Under certain gazes, it loses its humanity when cut in pieces or moved about. In my projects, the body is the material. I use it the way that others use paint for canvases,...

Weekend Portfolio

Weekend Portfolio
«A Memorial For Today» is a reflection of how we pass our days and our private moments with tremendous passivity... a chronic passivity which we have apparently voluntarily invited into our lives. Our acceptance of this passive way of life has led us to turn a blind eye to our al...

Weekend Portfolio
These nighttime pictures were taken on the outskirts of urban areas. They represent the thresholds we cross before undertaking a journey. They are allegories of the decision to go forward to face the unknown: Our future. The images are imbued with a sense of fantasy, showing us places captu...

Weekend Portfolio
The simplest meaning of the word ‘go’ is to move from one place to another. However, ‘go’ is also a name of an old board game for two players. The purpose of Go is to surround as much territory as possible and capture the opponent’s stones. I took this encircling strategy not to control, but to ex...

" That night I had the wind turbines, as it happens, unexpectedly below the skin and nostrils remote a joy, a secret memories of those naked as our bodies, we would say that they are ingrained from childhood. The beach where I was born was peopled with swimmers in summer and baked...

Weekend Portfolio
As I see it, there are two main ways to photograph the world: to take hold of its horror (there’s plenty), or to sublimate it. I’ve chosen the latter. More specifically, I love the romance of rain, snow and ‘bad weather’ (although not its consequences).

These photographs were taken against the vast mountain scenery. In them I reveal my link to nature, questioning man’s presence in this landscape and our relationship to the world and the sacred, seeking the frontier between the real and the imaginary. In this series, a walk through ...

Weekend Portfolio
Diffuse as a drop of ink on chest, the soul of Istanbul, for evermore, is distilled into melancholy and widespread in the air as a cloud of coal. A place always in between where time is matched only by confusion. I moved here in December 2009, then i involved myself more into color photogr...

"Take your time, calm down, observe… Take the time to lie down and dream, take your time to use slow photography, take your time to move outside of time. This work, as well as other ambrotype series I've made, is a multilevel paradox. Here are images of dreamers and nature... nothing new,...

'Men at night' examines man, in a period of existential space, in the suburbs, at night. It is an attempt to explore a daydream in the evening, a pensive moment where alternate lives, hopes, dreams, and unactualized ambitions can be fathomed. The camera, functioning as a portal to the s...
