Author continuously approaches photography not only as a tool of reflection of reality, but also as a physical tool that changes our perspective. He analyses photography as a medium of memory related to a specific history and technology; in his exhibitions, he alludes to a closed world that follows its own rules. He processes his photographs by means of traditional methods as if trying to consider the photographic medium as a way of perceiving the world.
