The Fragments Series

The images of the Fragments Series are a tribute to Fragmentism or to the Poetics of the fragment, a literary trend developed in Italy in the early 1900s where the construction of the literary work does not take place through an organized set of events and situations, but through a mosaic of fragments of images and episodes unrelated to each other and which, in some ways, unite this poetics with the expressionism. In the images of this series the formal element is reduced to a fragment, dissolving any reference to visible reality to transform itself, to paraphrase Anne Janowitz, into “a partial whole either a remnant of something once complete and now broken or decayed, or the beginning of something that remains unaccomplished.”. In all of this, the image is transformed into a radiant moment, out of time, which can never be completed because it aspires to infinity. The images are also a tribute to the work of photographer Aaron Siskind, especially to his abstract production from the late 1940s and early 1950s, also appreciated by Mark Rothko, Franz Kline and other exponents of abstract expressionism.
