Ongoing work started in January in Reykjavik, Iceland, during the SIM international artist residency program. My stay involved a process of visual research through the materiality of photography on the commoditization of nature in the context of the booming tourist industry.
Reverting is a divergence from traditional printing approaches, using my own handmade recycled paper from waste, exploring the materiality of the medium, the alternation between handmade and digital processes and the potentialities of the photographic image as an object.
I aim to mirror the transformative process of manifesting something from the void —a form of alchemy of waste— with the delicate equilibrium of our environment, and the perpetual cycle it follows.
