PERCEPTIONES
Perception is not a transparent passage to reality. It is an active process through which reality is constructed, interpreted, and experienced.
Reality does not necessarily coincide with what appears. Between what exists and what we perceive, a space opens up in which forms acquire meaning, lose their self-evidence, and become open to different interpretations.
In Perceptiones, the photographic language explores this space through the transformation of images. Bodies, objects, and gestures are removed from their customary representation, fragmented, or recomposed into configurations that make recognition uncertain. What appears familiar can become ambiguous; what seems self-evident can reveal unexpected meanings.
Visual form is therefore not merely a surface covering the subject represented. It is the means through which perception itself is called into question. By altering the conditions of vision, photography makes an experience possible in which meaning is not entirely contained within the object, but also emerges from the relationship between what appears and the person observing it.
Perceptiones thus investigates the distance between existence and perception, showing how the same form can generate different interpretations and how what we consider real is inseparable from the way we are able to recognize it.
The image does not merely show us what we see. It questions the process through which something becomes visible and acquires meaning.
