Orphans/Solitudes seeks to disrupt the relationship one maintains with one’s surroundings, as well as the relationship one has with the photographic image. 

 

Through a meandering process propelled by spontaneity, Orphans/Solitudes consists of a sort of urban collage. During shooting, a single frame is double-exposed and two images intersect. Superimposed, two worlds suddenly collide. Two spaces experience an improbable meeting, thus rewriting space and time. This convergence prompts a new narrative — that of fictional landscapes, non-places, stagings, and false worlds. These are worlds that one cannot inhabit, in which one cannot exist. The body of the viewer cannot enter these worlds because they deny his/her very existence. 

 

The photographs are transformed by the layering of images and the subtraction of information. The two superimposed images — the parent images — fade and disappear. Only the intersection of the parent images — the child image — is revealed. In the end, the child image proves to be an orphan image, an embodiment of solitude.
