EMPTY STAGE
Algún momento entre el 1927 y 2021
2023, Photo album page, 38 x 30 x 2,5 cm
Empty Stage is a series of works that refer to an active void. The conceptual research departs from one photo album that used to belong to my grandmother who passed away at the age of 96. All photos were taken out, but the imprint of them; of moments between 1924 and 2021, remain on every page. The series refers to deaths as portals to rebirth and regeneration and to traces being filled differently.
