Intento de reconstrucción de un retrato migrante (Attempt of reconstruction of a migrant’s portrait)

Exercise of sensitive approach on the problem of the deterritorialization that makes use of multiple vestiges of portraits made with coal on paper, which are juxtaposed on plastic sleeves to induce a partial transfer process of those images to the new support. Thus, each portrait loses its autonomy not only in the instant when their facial definitions are suppressed (result of the touch between both materials), but also when they are reunified in a new one that seems to abduct in the construction of an alien being. The final image is a sum of layers that conjugate between thickness and transparency and become like some kind of corporeal metaphor of a state of amnesia.
