CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
pictures away, I knew I would return to them someday. After a few months I realized it was time, and when I opened the library on the computer I was horrified to see the photos were garbled. It took a while to figure out what happened. It was really scary: the photographs splited, brutally cutted. Their colors were stained sick, phosphorus. When I calmed down a bit I started to test them and try to understand what I can do with them. Suddenly I saw the charm. The reality gone awry, it felt so accidental, so symbolic. I realized that I have a great series here, without having planned it, it happened quite by accident, when my computer decided what to do with these photos. My intervention was choosing the right frames and returning the original gray color. In this series I can see the connection with the fantastic worlds Cortazar made.
