Frottogramas, 1988

Silver chloro-bromuro print treated with copper, selenium and sulphur
100 x 60 cm.

[ENG] This series appears as if it appropriates Max Ernst’s technique of frottage by rubbing the negative against the photographed objects. It thus suggests a variety of forms while putting on evidence its accidents. To Kill photography: that is to see them both as material and gesture at the same time. The image is then perceived as an object of violence. It could address a visual experience strengthened by touch and contact, thus becoming physical and appearing to the senses at the same time.

[CAST] Se trata de una serie en la que parece que se apropia de Max Ernst y del frottage. Restriega los negativos contra los elementos fotografiados. Sugerir la forma pero evidenciar los accidentes. Asesinar la fotografía: vérselas a la vez con la materia y el gesto. La imagen como depósito de la violencia. Podría tratarse de una experiencia visual potenciada con el tacto y el contacto. Lo físico, lo sensual.
