Many of the places that I have imprisoned in my shots stand out for their being peripheral, rural or simply no longer vital; stand out the absence of man but retain the trace and this makes them monumental in my eyes.

I believe that what I look for in places is history that overlaps space, matter imbued with memory.

The naked body with the covered face is almost always mine, mostly for contingent reasons, but I would not speak of a self-portrait.

I'm interested in the conflictual intersection that emerges when a body devoid of the identity that gives it a face is inserted into any context.

If the face is the cipher of humanity, a body without it becomes a strange, disturbing entity that slides towards the elements of the landscape, denouncing, however, it's radical difference.
