For me, the main motivation behind starting each new project has always been the potential to uncover something new. This encompasses both technical challenges and novel conceptual ideas. The entire process is intriguing and requires a significant amount of time and experimentation. I began my photography journey in the 1970s when everything was analog. I spent many years working as a commercial architectural photographer, all on film. This experience provided me with a solid foundation for my future artistic endeavours.

My relationship to photography has changed over time and can be best described as complicated. I will forever be grateful for the accessibility photography provided me. Not only as a photographer but as a viewer as well. The accessibility of photography as a fine art medium should also be lauded, as straight images can often be relatable and understood. However, with the ever changing technology and ubiquity of images in the world have made the role of photographs and photography has become more complex.

I consider myself a photo-based artist. My work explores issues of identity: gender, memory, territory, place and origin, migration and belonging. Growing up in Argentina, my work is deeply Influenced by psychoanalysis and the forces of the unconscious. I tend to work in series. Each body of work takes a different visual approach according to the needs of the concept I am exploring and intend to portray.

Interestingly, my journey in many ways parallels that of my friend and fellow artist, Kariann Fuqua. We both lived in Chicago after grad school and worked as institutional curators while pursuing our own art practices and teaching. Now, we’ve landed in full-time academic positions in the Deep South – me as Associate Professor of Photography and Director of Graduate Studies at The University of Alabama and Kariann as the Instructional Assistant Professor and Director of Museum Studies at The University of Mississippi. This fall, we’ll present a collaborative installation in New York City with the Intermission Museum of Art.

My visual journey first began when I returned from living in the Middle East. In retrospect, I regretted not having a way to visually interpret and remember my extraordinary experiences during the three years I lived there. So, I began studying art history with the idea of learning how to paint my memories. Although I had some good results that were selected for a group exhibit, I wasn’t enamored with the painting process. It took too long to get a satisfactory result, and it was a solitary endeavor. I needed to find an aesthetic medium that would fit my personality. Something that would accommodate my impatience and give me opportunities to interact with my environment, especially people. After a few years, I finally found the perfect artistic outlet for myself — the camera. It would become my magic box.

My main interests in photography and my way of working haven’t changed dramatically since I started to dig deeper into the world of photography 15 years ago. I have been working mainly digital since then but I’m glad to have an analogue past as well that enabled me to apply some of the analogue mindset into my digital world, like forcing myself to slow down and always working with physical prints – which is connected to the phase after the actual picture has been taken. This is probably the area where I have learnt most the last years and which I enjoy most when working nowadays.
