Waiting/Cartography of waiting – Transfer ink, paper and gummed tape onto prepared surface papers with photosensitive solution (2020). 12 pieces where each paper have 70x50cm. This work appear as 12 representations of months (210x150cm) or 4 representations of the seasons of the year (200x70cm), 2020. These series might still be affected by light. As referred by W. Talbot: These papers would darken in sunlight in much the same way as our skin acquires a tan* *Larry J. Schaaf (2000).The Photographic Art of William Henry Fox Talbot. Princeton University Press, United Kingdom (P.14).

Culture & Context

1. Series of 18 photo-enamels on copper with the average size about 12x7cm. Together (as shown on the pictures) it can reach 42x40cm. This work does not have a specific shape; it can be arranged as desired. The wooden box was given to me as a gift.The size of a wooden box with all plates inside: 15,5x10x5cm. Weight: 1kg

2. Waiting is a work in process while handwritten letters are being written and sent out to people of interest in an attempt to fuel the confessional aspect of writing to someone. This series is then, an attempt to express or anticipate expectations by casting them away, about protagonists and their stories, about inspirations, fortuitousness, uncertainty, distance. Photosensitive and its intermediary results are in line with an important assumption of this work: the delay, the unforeseen and absence of absolute control.
