People, while living their lives, leave behind traces of their existence. These traces may show that they have simply passed through life or they may even reveal how they feel. I chose to capture traces that people left on a beach. They are usually small constructions made of sand, stone and wood. When I come into contact with them I feel as though I am partaking in their creators’ emotions or as if I am coming into contact with another existence and more generally with the Collective Unconscious. I also sometimes placed stones on top of another; a classic symbol of one’s having passed through a specific place. I took pictures of these constructions and with them my body as another “symbol” that changes form at every such contact I captured.
My goal, through this project, is to talk inductively about photographs as a sign / symbol of man.
This is an experiential project, photographed using a Lubitel modified into a pinhole camera with color film 120
