They are self-portraits this “Vago”, in a deconstruction of the defined and focused, in this impression / emotion. I have long sought this moment of reflection on movement and uncertainty. The research of this time, of a pictorial interiority by the imperfection and materiality of the support. In other words, it is an unusual, vague and intimate place. Being an analog snapshot, with an almost immediate visualization (a few minutes) that satisfies me, it allows and maintains the reflection / maturation of the photographic body, something non-existent in digital photography due to its immateriality.
