FUTURE PAST

In this photographic series of 18 works, time folds in on itself like an imaginary excavation. The viewer is invited to adopt the distant gaze of a future archaeologist who, centuries after our disappearance, discovers intact the bodies and gestures of the characters who once inhabited our present: the plastic surgeon, the office worker, the sugar daddy, the tattoo artist, the street food vendor… Each figure, frozen within its everyday context, becomes a cultural fossil.

Through this temporal game, the work proposes a shift in perspective: by observing ourselves as vestiges, we can more objectively understand which values, objects, and rituals define our era. What seems trivial today may become symbolic; what we believe to be eternal may reveal itself as mere fashion.

Photography here becomes both a time machine and an archaeological tool. The carefully constructed settings function as strata in which the aesthetics, consumption habits, aspirations, and contradictions of contemporary society are sedimented. The viewer, transformed into a symbolic excavator, confronts the fragility of our cultural constructions and the certainty that, sooner or later, we too will become ruins to be interpreted by others.
