The Elsewhere of the Other is an example of photographic research, conducted during three trips.
2009, Australia (Tasmania, Sydney) – 2010, India (Varanasi) – 2012, Japan (Sado Island; around Sendai; Hiroshima; Kyoto).
But really, it hardly matters where or when.
The subject of this research is the invisible, the connection between geography and the imaginary, the connection between bodies and landscapes, the connection also between the history of each person and that of Humanity, between everything that lives and the Universe. The artist makes use of her lucidity, of her sensory relationship with others and with the world to seize the subtle interactions among beings in both presences and absences, and provide an account of fragile and decisive moments. Suspended time, silences, nothing to see, just knowing that at every instant the vast range of what is possible is opening up to us.
The elsewhere of the other in oneself.
The elsewhere of a beloved man who has died, his soul and the hereafter.
The elsewhere of another adored man who is gone, his territories and his visions.
The elsewhere of the other would be the powerful ability that all of us have to be reborn, to rebuild, and to give.
These photographs are those of a woman with an unvanquished heart.
