“This first book is the result of ten years of searching for my own personal practice. Gathering together portraits of my family and environment. The text, written by my mother, in French, is translated into Spanish and English.

It describes the journey I have embarked upon as a person and as an artist — carrying both french and chilean family heritages — traces of exiles, resistance, ideals of the past and love stories over the years.

First too bashful I tried to preserve the images of the one I loved with over printing and wax, hiding and masking them to the world.

Slowly assuming my role and my responsibility I want to show them now on high lights — as they are. Photographic medium is my way to communicate with them but also to try to express these untouchable poetry feelings and desires I have. By opening this book you open a space of intimacy, my models as my first audience, it is now shared to the world.

Like my work and collaborations, this book carries a unifying and international dimension. Photos have been taken on the road I choose, over borders.

It has been designed in Bangkok, produced in Mexico by Javier Salomón in a very artisanal way, co-published by Red Lebanese— my own publishing company — and Alien Libros —Javier’s publishing house based in Mexico City — and finally released in NYC.”
