Exhibition text

From sentire, to perceive

English

Sensus [Classic Latin]: from sentire, to perceive.

Decomposing or composing new shapes by repeating, turning or flipping images is the core idea of Sensus. Simple photographic compositions of a female body, in a poetic nudity, shift, mutate and grow complex in new and suggestive images.

[…] Each piece has a taste of the flesh. Grotesque, morbid, graceful, limpid? There is no tacit answer or definition. Your eyes are the only protagonists of the sensory experience you choose to consent to.

Español

Sensus [Latín clásico]: sentidos (percepción).

Descomponer o componer nuevas figuras al repetir, girar o voltear imágenes es la idea matriz de «Sensus». Para ello, sencillas composiciones fotográficas tomadas de un cuerpo femenino que ostenta una desnudez poética se trastocan, mutan, complejizan en nuevas y sugerentes imágenes.

[…] Cada pieza tiene el sabor de lo carnal. ¿Grotesco, morboso, grácil, límpido? No hay respuesta o definición tácita. Son tus ojos los únicos protagonistas de la experiencia sensitiva que consientas.

— Gabriela García Azcuy
