Photographic project emerges
from to locate the place
name of “Quer” in various
places of the Catalan and
French territory.
Once I have
chosen the site.
I organize a tour
on foot, with a clear
objective.
Explore the place
to look for stones.
The only record
of the remaining experience
is photographic.
A type of record thought like
evidence that something
had happened.
Pick up
some randomly
selected stones and then
perform different interventions
to transform them.
To break, scratch, tear, polish,
grind, drill, chop, wipe, sharpen,
are some of the actions we
do with the stones.
We photograph modification,
proposing certain sets of compositions
collected in the interior of the studio.
