Surface

  • Laura Marques
"Surface" brings to surface the skin as its own matter. Skin over skin. An interplay between exposure and protection that keeps life going and stops life from being. Skin performing its duality to the point of itching in the longing to grasp its own substance. To the point of scratching and bleeding, erupting, just to find and show under itself another layer of skin.

The photographic macros portray the skin over the lens, over the sensor, over the screen, over the eye, over the skin. It is surface over surface, its senses touching with or without sensing, the eternal return to the content of the surface, the content as surface, whether one perceives it or not, to keep scratching, to keep finding that which is already known.
