The crack of the land
“The crack of the land” is a tribute to my grandparents’ house, which for a long time was a place of refuge for people both close and unknown to me. However, places like this become loud absences after the loss of youth, collective rituals and closeness.
We tend to believe that we are immune to time. However, the intimate territory serves as a revelation that shows us aging. Spaces become extensions of our corporeality that anticipate us almost like a sixth sense that something is dying.
This project investigates the mourning that comes from aging through the territory, since space seems to be anchored to time. From an intuitive and emotional sense, the images question: How does one inhabit a space that is dying?
