Dommun
Dommun is a project about human relationship with spaces we inhabit. From this personal theme it problematizes photography throughout its three chapters.
In the first chapter: Inmueble (property), photography is shown to us limited and confronted with its technical limitations. The sample tied to its referent and to temporality. What Dubois in «The Photographic Act» calls the spatial cut and the temporal cut. The photographs in this chapter need something else to express what its initially intended.
In the second chapter: Variance, photography is questioned as part of the photographic process. The final images that are shown to us are the result that a software returns to us after a statistical operation that uses 100 photographs as intro data. What Frizot in «The photographic imaginary» calls «… what distinguishes photography within the system of images or representations is not a partial and marginal characterization of its relationship with «the real» and its technicality, but a fundamental rupture and founder in terms of the means of “making” images… making images.
In the third and final chapter: Home, photography expands and its concept shifts (R. Krauss). The photograph becomes part of a photographic installation that is itself photographed. Is the record of an ephemeral act what we are trying to show? Or is photography in that particular space? Or was it all the process to get that final image? but why is the final photographic image obviously retouched and framed?

House
· The exercise of inhabiting
is similar to establishing a relationship
between us and that place
· The House seen as a container
of things and people
for a specific period of time.
Us as part of that content.
· We are not part of the place,
we are their temporary difference:
its variance.

“Where things happen, where people live, in the broadest sense of the word, is where a space probably forgets its bland and cold existence and takes comfort in the experience of the place”
