Theatre_

What is a Photography? What does Photography stand for? Are all images Photographies? Are all Photographies images? Does Photography have a real value and use? An image that you cannot see, is it still an image? Are there limits to Photography? And if so, which and why? Does a picture always allude to a seizable concept?

Questions, only questions, because questions really matter. Answers, not many answers.

Photography is a newborn open circle, pretending to have found its true identity. But its crooked, limited and speechless if it does not open to bigger circles. Experienced and knowledgeable circles that will bring shining future to a limitless medium.


Theatre_ visually combines two differentiated and individual layers to create in-existing image-objects with infinite possibilities, dimensions and purposes. Attacking the multi-verse concepts of dimensionality and perspective, Theatre_ is currently divided into two technical frames.

Theatre 1# combines two different slide color images creating infinite maleable images within a given frame, the stage. With each slight movement the frame gives way to a new one, and this infinitely.

Theatre 2# combines two different images, one light-printed into gelatin and the other off-set printed into transparent plastic, to create a set of different images that will reveal in a dynamic and performative collaboration with the viewer. One image visible under general light conditions, the other image visible under ultra-violet light; one visible and the other invisible.

Both of the pieces need of the collaboration with the spectator, because if not their meaning and abilities break, disperse and decontextualize.
