My doubt about "being an image is to be bound by convention to your own two-dimensionality", has led me to embody photography and make it sensitive to the architecture around it.
Which made me ask if everything produced in the visual realm is an image. And if, every moving image would necessarily be a film.
VOLATILE AND VOLUBLE emerged to originate new questions when transiting between the conceptual and the material universes: an uncertain and fugitive image that would not exist in the sub-solar world, which feeds on light. Transparency supported by color.
Expanded, dilated photography. Not etymologic in the sense of light, but in the sense of time. Architectural body that does not retain the image. Matter that negotiates with the invisible. Unpredictable pigmentation by chemical reactions, fugitive colors.
Not a site-specific work, but site-sensitive. Subject, subordinate to the luminosity surrounding it.
