Publicity Stratigraphy I 1993

The Public Space is composed by designed objects. Passing throught that space our mind and memory is filled by impressions that later compose our imagination and inspirational capacity. Certain impressions are static, we see them always or can go back to that place, where we saw something to recover our memory. Others are momentary, vanishing with the ongoing time from our surrounding and so remain impossible to review. Photography has the genius capacity to store and preserve those impressions so that by passing through photographic collections we are able to reconstruct the system of the composition of our own `inconscious memory image stock`. The genius capacity or the curse of that technique.

The presented photo-series dates from the month of June and August 2011.
