TITLE: Interferences

This series tries to frame the moment when, in the closed system of subject and photographer, a third element enters, creating an interference and changing the meaning of the whole picture. The photos were taken in different places and times but they all share the same element of disturbance, as if, in a certain way, they were spoilt by a mistake. This mistake is what really interests me, because the photographer, as creator of images, usually hates the unpredictable and longs to control every detail of a photo. However I find more interesting what shirks and haunts a photographer and his photo, so I let elements from real life enter my photos: people stretching arms in front of the lens, hoovering a religious place or simply passing by. These interferences take the form of shadows, thickening of darkness and blurred faces, that is, everything that couldn’t disturb a photographer more.
