"If it is absolutely necessary for art or theater to serve any purpose, it will be to teach people that there are activities that are useless and that it is essential that they exist."

It’s the humidity that kills you
As an ecologist, I’m fortunate that I can take my cameras out into the field as part of my work while surveying for fauna and flora, and I try to capitalise on this where I can. I’m hoping to document more endangered species and how they interact with their environments.

Whiplash
I try not to impose any specific concept or idea onto the work at the beginning. I feel that once I come back and look through all the images, the concept reveals itself naturally. And that’s pretty much what happens: ideas emerge from places I didn’t fully understand while I was there.
Places
“A city is like an animal. It has a nervous system, a head, shoulders, and feet. Every city is different from every other: no two are alike. And a city has collective emotions.”
-John Steinbeck

Waldo’s
Una ciudad rápida, intensa, medio caótica pero muy limpia, llena de lugares pequeños donde las cosas pasan de verdad. De esas donde encuentras un spot increíble casi por accidente y después quieres regresar todo el tiempo. Creo que Waldo’s tiene esa personalidad. No intenta explicarse demasiado. Lo entiendes cuando lo vives.

Spoiler Alert
En mi memoria se quedaron frases fuertes de personas que amo y que, precisamente por eso, se quedaron en mí. Ahora que son mayores, he comprobado que genuinamente no recuerdan haberlas dicho. La memoria es una hija de puta: guarda como trauma lo que quiere, pero muy convenientemente, con la vejez, lo olvida.

“I'm always so amazed when people talk about a definitive edition! How can an author not regret an awkward point or an adjective? It's absurd.”
-Jorge Luis Borges

“Personally, I can't live without my art. But I've never put that art above anything else.”
-Albert Camus
Books
"I'm not one of those who only thinks among books, inspired by books; however, I tend to think outdoors, walking, jumping, climbing, dancing, especially on lonely mountains or by the sea, where the paths themselves become thoughtful."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
