Journey to Thrihnukagigur volcano – PhMuseum

End of final yr I photographed a journey contained in the Thrihnukagigur volcano; months later I documented myself in catatonic moments, fighting anxiousness. I discovered a thread between each sequence: two distant landscapes sharing the identical emotional geography.

At the tip of 2024, I ventured with my 35 mm digicam contained in the inactive Thrihnukagigur volcano in Iceland. This territory, so totally different from the locations I’ve recognized, struck me profoundly: a volcanic island the place ice and hearth coexist in stress, wildlife is sort of invisible, vegetation is minimal, with a lightweight that generally appears dreamlike, and at night time, the frequent look of the northern lights.

Months later, whereas digitizing negatives in my studio in Mexico, I discovered a roll of 35mm capturing self-portraits: fragments of hysteria, moments of paralysis, my physique sinking into the bottom. I found a thread between each sequence: two distant landscapes sharing the identical emotional geography.

From this discovery, this collage sequence was born. I intention to create photographs that reveal the connection between the subjective and the target, the resonance between what we see outdoors and what we really feel inside. To specific in pictures what’s felt, by way of what’s seen. To construct analogies between matter and emotion, permitting pictures to turn into a bridge between bodily territory and the emotional panorama inside us.
