Act of Failure

This project questions the definition of photography. The City of Mexico is explored in the need of building a new version of the city’s history to be able to articulate myself in it. Through this process, a historical archive of tiny pieces is created that constitute a platform for the future. What is depicted in this project are images that lack clarity interrupting the flow of information from the object photographed to the photographic support. This is a contradictory act in itself -taking photos in analog system, processing them and then reducing them to a system that is used for biological research. This produces a timeless effect that questions the passage of time through the photographic medium. The idea of photography as a mirror of reality was attributed to it from its origins due to the similarity that exists between the photo and its referent. In this case, the referent vanishes and an imaginary field opens up to the viewer.
