Once I read an article about Luc Sante’s book, “Evidence”. It’s about crime scenes in New York and there was something that really caught my attention. The pictures he wrote about in that book were real pictures but it really looked it was all a set. I took that idea on as a personal work.

Custodiar Espacios: dimensions of the night, presents a group of spaces waiting for the unpredictable. The perception of these places invites us to think about something that has happened or is about to happen. I want to introduce the spectator to the doubt that mystery always raises.

Through the capricious illumination of nightlife and remembering black cinema I look within the reality of those places that remind me of a set. Susceptible to being fiction but without really being it.

These are random places, everyday places, innocent and neutral, that have different functions and aspects during the day, but when you shoot them by night, they experience a transformation. The eye (and our visual baggage) judges and constructs a history in each of these pictures through our ethic and aesthetic criteria.
