... The gaze obviously has its limitations, both physical and/or ideological. It is, therefore, also a fragmented gaze that produces an image in fragments of the world. However, nothing and nobody in this world is intrinsically coherent. Coherence depends on meaning, on the meaning that we choose or that we are able to give life and experience.

 The image, the product of the photographer’s gaze offered to the spectator, is the place where photographed object is place, with its shadows and evidence. In this way, the photographed object is reborn, it gains a new life, through an image, a life that feeds the imagination, the imagination of the person who sees the photograph.

 Thus, the image doesn’t imprison or freeze the photographed object. On the contrary, by representing it, it frees it from stereotypes, from the fetters of prejudice to which the common gaze subjects it to.

The image guarantees distance, and distance guarantees the loss of the purely physical experience, a separation that does not seek a rupture between imagination and reality, but a rupture that is necessary to think, to reflect on oneself and the Other.

 The image is not an illustration of the written text, the image is a text in itself, a text to be read, interpreted, deciphered, commented on, discussed. It is a text that should lead to the   word, the word of the Other.  Photography is thus an interactive and reflective register of what goes on in the world, in the street, in the studio.

 Photography and the gaze that leads to photography are not timeless. Photography denies the eternal present, romantic and dreamlike, and inserts itself into the moment, into history, into life itself. Photography is thus, a contextual act that reclaims time and space, the here and now, as the conditions to decipher and understand reality. Therefore, photography is not just a desire to produce a vague sense of nostalgia, or a souvenir, to chase the ephemeral quality of lost time, it is a statement of what is happening at the moment when the shot is taken, a moment, that, in the same way as detail, gains depth and meaning from the moment we are able to go beyond it.
