From the invisible to the visible - Drawing with Air

In this series of photographs, I draw with air, using plastic and the body. They show plastic that I collected from my neighbours and those that I consume from my purchases in the local stores. At first inspection they look as if the shapes could be superimposed, or even photoshopped, into the landscape. But in fact, these are materials which are attached to my body as I photograph them, waiting for the grammar of the wind to write a sentence that describes the evanescent truth of the moment. In these acts of performative photography, nature and culture are brought together. 

Plastic is a degraded material, aesthetically, and environmentally destructive, but in these photographs it becomes a representation of an ecological reality and also an ephemeral structure, resembling at times creatures: a jellyfish, a spacecraft, a spiralling of sub-atomic particles, an amoebic undifferentiated organism. These images are the result of acts of perception and imagination, while denoting the structure of material production, consumption, and disposal, and how we are all caught in the mesh of relations between them.
