Lambda silver gelatin prints, corroded with an acidic solution, scanned, and then enlarged. The originals measure 6x9 cm. Prints may vary.

To photograph the night is to realize that reality can be never taken, that reality is present only as an atmosphere. A vision our eyes are not able to show us. Into the night, sounds become silhouettes and contours take shape, transparency becomes opacity and light is no longer there to reveal but to swallow everything she meets.

De-realize to realize better, FASTLIFE is the chemistry that allows memories, feelings of the night to try and come forward. Photographic chemistry, night chemistry, brain chemistry. I manipulate my photographs caught in the euphoria of the night, I shift, I dig, I seek, chased by the transmutation I run from.

It’s a dialectical process: to soil in order to clean, to corrupt in order to regenerate, to lose in order to save, to get lost in order to save ourselves. To destroy to create. Therefore FASTLIFE is not the image of a performance; it’s the performance of an image. I behold her, I venture and I get lost.
