Statement

Javier Soria Vazquez moves between disciplines, driven by the inherent concessions of art. Among his approaches, he uses photography to create temporary compositions: small movements that ultimately disassemble to form an impossible and illusory image.
In the series “Conjectures about an abyss”, he works with archives provided by an astronomical observatory, physically intervening in the images, wounding and eroding the medium with the intention of evoking an accessible and tangible abyss.
