- P / A _ presence / absence
-
P / A _presence / absence_is part of a larger project called "Soulsearching".
P / A is a work in progress,(1994_ 2015) a reflection on the absence-presence of "the other".
A search through the footwear found at the coves of the north coast of the Menorca island. They are usually simple summer and cheap flip-flop, but not only. -
Each piece transformed by sun, salt, sea water, sand and wind erosion becomes an interesting object by itself, for its shape, texture and color. The size and design give us clues about the identity of those who wore it: of that he threw, of that who forgot or lost it. Whether it was a man or a woman, a boy or a girl.
From his hiding among rocks or on the sand from the beach, flip flops will make his final journey. This time on a boat in the trunk of a car to get to Barcelona.
I photograph them in my studio, zenithally on a light background, alone and bare of any reference. Exposed to the curiosity and imagination of the beholder.
