Wake Up

Statement
Eyes are closed in order to open, perhaps, onto the true vision: imagination. Portraits made on Polaroid 669 registered individual awakenings by asking each subject to close their eyes.
The latent traces rested for two years in the darkness of a drawer. The blurred images, fused by the chemistry of development, were photographed again and digitised.
The result is an iridescent reissue of nineteenth-century post-mortem photography: a Wake Up that has nothing to do with sleep, because it belongs entirely to the dream.
