Honorable Mention
In the intimacy of the family
DESCRIPTION
With a painting of the grandparents in the background, framed by curtains and a backyard patio, and a virgin a school certificate in the front part of the leaving room, the man of the house in his wheelchair and the woman looking at the refrigerator make an almost traditional scene of a conventional family of a town in the central part of Mexico AUTHOR
I like to travel and encounter the world with its streets and its people, but the part that correspondsto my interest, my vision and philosophy of life. My photos are a look at someone's world, a journey
into their space and their life; an attempt to build a story without affection, as part of a social
commitment.
The photos are the expression of my intuition, perhaps of my desires, my own synthesis of the world
condensed in a moment. I hope these images arouse more suspicions than certainties in a way that
is possible to speculate with them to open paths of contrasting narratives.
I present different visual stories that intersect in the streets and in their plurality create a certain
connection; a new sense. These images can be regard, a hand, a detail or a full scene; a fixed
temporality that captures movement.
My images aim to reunite us with the common man, using a simple visual grammar that reveals the
value of the everyday hidden life. Images that are the time of the people and the people in their
time.
I like to walk around the city and photograph what spontaneously appears, but not all, a piece of
landscape and the reality and the fiction that goes with it. The characters are always taken by
surprise and thus do not influence their own representation. Walk and learn about the narrative that the space contains, finding a storm of things, a ship wreck of ideas, a unique grammar of the city. Walk without a script to rewrite a monograph of the place with my steps, periods and images. Catch lights and shadows of the twilight that escapes little by little through the camera.
