Bag (Self-portrait), Mexico. 2017.
“Philosopher Byung-Chul Han says that we live in an era of exhaustion and fatigue, caused by an incessant compulsion to perform. We have left behind the immuno (...)
logical era, and now experience the neuronal era—characterized by neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, burnout syndrome, and bipolar disorder.
My work centers this premise at the core of fragmented, cinematic, and vivid photographs, which exist in multilayered narrative installations. My female characters exist almost anonymously, melting in places, vanishing into them, constantly looking for any possibility of escape. They find themselves alone, desperate and exhausted.”
