I photograph people who photograph ART! (2007-present)

Concept
Since its inception, photography has assumed the epistemological status of ‘mirror of reality’, or rather of ‘register of the real’ against the old pictorial forms. But at the same time, the development of current technologies has affected two of its fundamental characteristics: be reproducible and be manipulable. The reality presented, represented, is not closed a single reality, but it depends on who takes the picture, we could talk about subjective, poetic, fictitious, artificial, and even distorted realities.

While the object of art lost its unmistakable aura and was socialized in museums and international exhibitions. But the need to ‘own’ the object has produced legions of fans with a camera recorded his memory, his presence, his essence of the impossibility of having the work itself.

Project
The project is planned as a work in progress. It consists of different collections of photographs taken in different museums and international exhibitions from 2007 to the present. The pictures do not have a precise format or size. Each unit can be reproduced more than 10 times in any combination and quality with the rest of individually.
