Conceptual nominee

The red dot on the photos points out a geographical location on a map. This is a mix of graphic and emotional work with intervened landscapes trying to show the way we give a sense of belonging to those places we visit and we retain mentally as memories even when we are not there anymore but we feel like we own them. I named this project 'YOU ARE NOT HERE' as a way to recall those places with a sensory, physical and emotional connection, there are not people on the images only the red dot that allow us remember a place only by it emotional value and not for who was there, those are very personal instants when we remember the place for what it is and what we lived there.
