Some collage exercises for the @ Februllage initiative, 2023 edition, which calls to artists to create a collage with a common theme every day during the month of February.
Photography is a tool that helps to inscribe individuals, objects and places in the construction of our memory. However, in an image, various circumstances will determine the unconscious discrimination of certain elements.
Through this exercise I explore this phenomenon seeking to provoke the questioning of the personal processes that lead us to the registration and partial permanence of an identity in the image.
Exhibited at the first edition of the contemporary collage festival —and good vibes— Paste Up mx at the Casa Equis gallery.
I thank the team at Paste UP! for considering my work.

The other does not exist: such is rational faith, the incurable belief of human reason. Identity = reality, as if, after all, everything had to be, absolutely and necessarily, one and the same. But the other cannot be eliminated; subsists, persists; It is the tough nut to crack on which reason leaves its teeth.
