From 5 May – 4 June 1988.<\/p>\n
\u201cA wound like the mist in the sun\u201d 1987<\/p>\n
PHOTOGRAPHY<\/p>\n
Black dark night, full of darkness.
\nLove that moved all beautiful things.
\n.The sun and all other stars.
\nThe bright sun warmly caresses our beloved land.
\nThe Sun, the light.
\nThe sky, the light! The gods\u2026\u2026..a dream
\nSleep, eternal sleep
\n\u00a1Let there be light! And reality hits me inside.
\nSomething in my heart trembles.
\nThe light the bodies reflect dance in my eyes, stabs my girls,
\nand two black nails bleed deep inside me.
\nIf only I could tell you how I feel through my eyes! but
\nwhat will yours see?
\nPerhaps drawing a line with a pencil I could make you feel the same
\nas me,
\nwhen I look at a tree.
\nThe first time I saw snow, it turned my stomach
\nthen, faithful lover, I haven\u2019t been able to stop admiring it.
\nThe first time I opened my eyes\u2026\u2026.
\nThe first time I saw your smile.
\nThe first time I saw so many miracles and every one of them that surround me.
\nAlways the first pure look, in this eternal present instant.
\nThe light! Work with light! Light as a working tool!
\nThen I discovered a device, a dark camera, which closely resembled an eye.
\nWell\u2026just by the way it worked, not at all by its beauty.
\nA paintbrush that looks like a mistaken finger. Its nail doesn\u2019t grow. Its hair grows.
\nA fountain pen is a finger with a dirty nail, like a schoolgirl, but neat like a lady.
\nAnd so, with that mechanical eye, I discovered I could collect small pieces of reality.
\nThe light that emanated from the bodies, remained stuck on a piece of gelatine,
\nwhen the light made an impression by surprise.
\nNow!…..and the light was captured, hat a game!
\nThe photographers, aggresive thieves, go around stealing the light from the people.
\nFrom the lanscape,
\nFrom all that is caught.
\nThis piece of reality, built with light which is stolen,
\nbecomes a treasure, a jewel.
\nAnd it ought to be valued as such.
\nPhotography is an instant eye.
\nIt is the memory that stays of this human age.
\nPhotography is a view that needs to be built
\nAn ivory tower needs to start to be built.
\nThere is a look, that we should start destroying, which deviates from purity.
\nPhotography is a river where a girl called diaphragm bathes
\nwearing a dress with magical numbers: 2, 8. 4. 5, 6 8. 11. 16. 22. 32. 45\u2026
\nThe photo is you, yes you. All the YOU\u2019s that are out of my sight.
\nPhotography is a ritual, to invoke the Muses.
\nPhotography is an instrument for observing nature.
\nIt is the invention of someone in love to conserve time, the object of his love, in time.
\nLight invents photography.
\nPhotography invents photographers and mistreats them
\nuntil they surrender at your feet and gently penetrate in your secrets.
\nI then discovered with a lot of patience,
\nthat some colours and a paintbrush
\ncould pamper captured reality
\nand by caressing and stroking it a copy of the colours of my memories were obtained.
\nAnd it could also bring a face so close that you could almost touch it
\nand move some chairs to a point where they are left in the dark.
\nThe most hidden things stand out, small and imperceptible,
\nit veiled that which had absorbed the most light.
\nAnd I smelled the forest musk in the folds of a cloth.
\nI spy
\nWhat do you spy?<\/p>\n
