This is not Still Life - a series of photographs realized in 2013 - 2016.
The presented works are reproductions of 30 x 40 cm enlargements made in the darkroom on photographic paper and toned or partially toned.
Magnification was made of black and white negatives of the format 13 x 18 cm.
The inspiration for the work was reading the poems by Thomas Sterns Eliot The West Land (1922) and The Hollow Man (1925), and albumin prints of still life by Charles Hippolyte Aubry, which I had the opportunity to see at the Fine Arts Museum in Boston. To say that in the series This is not Still Life I have criticized contemporary culture and civilization, by visualizing my own feelings about its condition, it is only part of the truth. These are images of hunger for emotions and doubts in the ability to experience them. Awareness of this dissatisfaction becomes a pretext for attempting to purify and creates a space for seeking harmony in building relations between objects - symbols in photographs.
