Co/lateral is a photographic collage composed of original images, digitally cut, printed and recomposed on two wooden panels joined in a non-linear arrangement.
The visual composition generates its own system. The flow of images can only settle close to the floor and remain suspended. The support is not determined in advance, but emerges from the work itself. A third wooden flap lifts the structure slightly, holding it in an asymmetrical position that can be approached and walked around from different angles.
The images originate from monochromatic shop windows encountered repeatedly from the side during everyday movement. What first captures my attention is not the identity or meaning of the objects, but the images themselves: their colours, interruptions and the relationships I perceive between them from the outset. They enter the work before a concept is fully defined; meaning emerges later, through the construction of the visual flow.
From a distance, the work holds as a continuous compositional field. At close range, real objects appear, shifting recognition and disturbing its continuity.
In Co/lateral, a lateral vision becomes collateral: what remains after an activity has disappeared continues to coexist with beauty, disturbance and memory.
