FLAT WATER (2007 - 2009)

FLAT WATER

An ongoing photography project, begun in 2007 in Northern Portugal.

1. The two-dimensionality and horizontality of the water surface when calm. Water as an initial concept of mirror, which later generated the concept of mirror with a memory.
2. The two-dimensionality of the photographic print, and its apparent three-dimensionality caused by our uncontrolled capacity to decode photographic information as a window on reality.
3. The two-dimensionality of the graphic artefacts juxtaposed with pixelising accuracy on the surface of the photograph, could question the apparent three-dimensionality of the image as it challenges the eye to a mental exercise in perceptive reconciliation.
