Story About Gnomes

2011

In my recent series I’ve been photographing myself in different environments for exploring scale and identity. At the same time I have been photographing my niece, generating ambiguous relations between both figures with the action, the place and the posture.

My intention is interrupting the process of perception by altering the rules of conventional photography. I am interested in not placing my niece or myself in a vulnerable position, but more the viewer. Making him wonder if it is dangerous or funny. I like the discomfort that the visual image can generate, the uncomfortable position of ethics.
