Since I was a child I have always had a great interest in self-knowledge and reflection; self-portraiture is a way of externalizing it and thus addressing abandonment, the feeling of inadequacy and self-love. A game between the body and the space it occupies.
I created an artist's book where I combined discarded images from the family archive, either due to a technical error, due to their occasional functionality or simply because they were forgotten until they were found at the bottom of a box (the images without a frame; also without space in the album) with images of my own body. Theatrical self-portraits where my presence is found in an unfinished and forgotten space.
This set of images became part of the pages of a geography and history book from 1969. Deteriorated over the years, with folds, breaks and borders that are non-existent today.
Useless objects that we keep out of an attachment without logic.
