The time between the skin and the paper
Impression lithographic of film photography - 2023
Between skin and skin, between skin and earth, between stone and paper, there is only time.
Their union is erotic and animal, both strange and sublime. Their skin is one: their bodies are added to the skin of the planet, the trees, the earth, the stones. They emerge as one being on the road eroded by the passage of water, they are life and extension of life on the only dead part for miles around.
The light that crosses the negative fixes them eternally, then the paper and the ink transform them, and even more the stone that receives them deformed, cut, imperfect, about to explode. On the same stone, they are transformed, with inks, acids and water, new forms, colors, shadows, textures, skin pores are born from them.
For years, days or minutes, they have been beings, chemicals, pixels. Finally, paper is their medium of birth and death, a unique and unrepeatable copy of a moment that will never pass again.
There is the sublime time of a magical presence in the world, the lithographic time.
