Remnants
Remnants
Remnants (2024-ongoing) begins during the year 2024, while the territory of Gaza is being literally eradicated under Israeli fire. The artist is stuck to the news that arrives from his homeland, siderated by the scale of human and material devastation (almost an entire territory). The internet network sometimes lags and the download “images d’actualité” are not instantaneous, giving way to blurred images, as a spirit preservating, distancing filter.
Questioning photography and image is a leitmotiv in the artist’s work: are those nightmarish present scenes, reproduced in such a sweetly beautiful form, mirages or reality? Is it possible to represent such subjects? How such images are imprinted in our mind and memory?
