Internal Journey





This part of my visuals is called internal journey, understood as the internal change in time and space that we get coming from external impressions.

I worked a few visuals mixing photographs, some montages and collages and in most cases i also added words, my thoughs and reflexions.

All of this examples in a way are related with matters such as time and space. Orinic images, dreams and desires.

I think of them as an example of when we see things for the first time, or notice something that has always been there infront of our eyes but we are so blinded by quotidianity to really see it, so stressed out, always runing. Those small details that we pass un-notice but are yet present.

The place we're in


This image represents my own journey in the MA. I've been taking a few self portraits from time to time, to show me how I've been changing, in this journey, and what are the shape of my surroundings.
The place we're in, was inspired by Taylor Wood work in "Revolution 360".
All charachters are played by me, in different rolles inside of this picture, but each one, is inmerce in it's own world without giving atention to the other. All they are different sides of myself, living in the same place.

People of the wind


This is the first self portrait i worked, it may not look so much like me because i metamorphosed into a pigeon, the pigeons also metamorphosed and grew their wings.
Pigeons are so common, kind of the universal bird...
This is actually a 4 stages self portrait, the image we see in here is the fourth one of 4; on the first 3 just the pigeons start to transform growing their wings, and it's me who metamorphosed in the end trying to be like them.
The self portrait comes with a poem that recite:

"People of the wind, is people in the window, i want to find my place in the air".

All self portraits belong to the part of my visuals called: "Manifestation of our presence". This part substitutes and refers to act of taking pictures of ourselves when we are on holiday so that we remember ourselves as in where we were, how we felt and to leave a landmark of our presence in the places we've visited.

ALL SELFPORTRAITS - ALL MANIFESTATION OF OUR PRESENCE PART




"Foreign" shows me almost in shock, finding me in a place filled of 'cat people', in my first selfportrait i metaphored into a pigeon, in this one, everyone is a cat, and i experience an urge of metaphore, change to adapt.

"MAKE ME (A SELF PORTRAIT)" depicts an emotion, feelings that changed in the moment captured on this picture, in wich i appear fragmented and holding a camera, taking the picture of my self.
