My
starting point in each piece are lines of poetry by
Vicente Huidobro, the Chilean Surrealist poet.Using
the Surrealist poetic concept of the "cut up"
as a model, I am creating a new poem from the selected
fragments of Huidobro's work. The images in the series
are numbered and when placed in order, create a new
poem which is autobiographical in nature.

René
Magritte said that we must not fear daylight just because
it almost always illuminates a miserable world, and
so it is my intention to present the viewer with several
death and misery related issues -- the acknowledgment
and denial of death, the cohesion of the self, self-destructive
behaviors and alienation -- against the backdrop of
humor.In this context, humor is more than a clever device
to gain access to the darker
sides of ourselves.

Grete
Stern
Grete
Stern, born in Germany had to flee from the Nazis in
1935 and went to live in Argentina. She was educated
in the School of Applied Arts in Stuttgart as a graphic
designer and photographer, something quite unusual for
a woman in those days. Among many professional activities,
in 1948 she was invited to work in a woman's' magazine
called "Idilio". There she would illustrate
with photo montages the section called "Psychoanalysis
will help you".

When
Grégoire, my 8-year old grandson, got back the
pictures he took at the zoo, he was disappointed to
see all those iron bars and all that concrete surrounding
the animals: what his mind perceived and retained may
be much closer to what is shown in this Bestiarium.

Thus
Buenos Aires became for me a valley of nothingness,were
values had been turned on their head, where I discovered
that to survive I had to blend into the woodwork and
make myself into a simulation within a simulation.

Joel-Peter
Witkin
If
photography is the art of fixing a shadow, glass is
the medium that transfers shadows onto film. For Joel-Peter
Witkin, whose elaborate tableaux reverberate with the
extreme conditions of life and death, glassholds powerful
associations.

How
much truth is there in what we have been told at home,
in school, at college? How much truth is there in
books and museums? And how much truth is there in
what the newspapers and television tell us today?
