_ "Whether ARMILLA is like this because it is unfinished or because it has been demolished, whether the cause is some enchantment or only a whim, i do not know. The fact remains that it has no walls, no celings, no floors: it has nothing that makes it seem a city, except the water pipes that rise vertically where the houses should be and spread out horizontally where the floors should be: a forest of pipes that end in taps, showers, spouts, overflows. Against the sky a lavabo's white stands out, or a bathtub, or some others porcelain, like late fruits still hanging from the boughs" _ [ Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino ] |

MECHANICAL SURGERY SERIES
The reconstruction of an imaginary micro world, almost as if it were a contemporary frankestein of our urbanity, where the surgical suture overwrites the image and reconstitutes a new multiplicity. Direct expression of the graft, based on the aesthetic of the body sexuality of industrial mechanics, on the modification of the object and the surgical prosthesis. A list, a series of digitally modified photographs, overwritten and grafted through a stitching process performed by hand using needle and thread. |

A list of photography shots stolen in the cities of Southeast Asia and Latin America. In these cities, like Armilla described by Calvino, hydraulic pipes and electrical wiring are visible, often poorly concealed and made with apparently temporary connections and grafts. MECHANICAL SURGERY is the reconstruction of remnants of images, joined through the collage (intended as montage of images from various contexts), overwriting (as modification of the original) and grafting (as surgical suture and conjunction of different objects). |
