Sediment
2018
Social media has drastically changed the way pictures are disseminated and especially how they are perceived. Sediment is a 2018 project made as a critical act against the compulsive consumption of pictures. Television, the Internet, and especially social media lead us to observe thousands of images every day in an obsessive way, ending up overlapping in the viewer's mind, without ever settling there permanently.
However, the immateriality of this world is reflected in the process of continuous turnover and archiving. The sediments that reach us in lines, shapes and colours seem to take on a new appearance. The viewer is led to lose contact with reality, reaching a pure abstract dimension of chaos. In this project, I investigate only what remains through a process of fragmentation and abstraction on a perceptual level.
My visual archive becomes mental patterns through an experimental post-production process. This process generates something new and unexpected, in which nothing is destroyed, but everything is transformed.
