Veru Iché

Veru Iché (Mar del Plata, Argentina, 1972) 'It is important for me to create images that can give way to other stories, often much more incredible than the original ones. I try not to control all of the spaces, because the viewer’s inventiveness is sacred to me. However, I should also add that I invent memories by bringing back characters from my own dreams, creating an environment, an aesthetic and a lived existence for them. The process of my photographs often begins with an analogue shot and a chemical process which I then deteriorate with ink and scratches. Then I create a collage with my own photos and finally I digitalise and alter the image by breaking the pixel in order to install the narrative between reality and fiction. A photograph is simply a frame from a great film that tries to capture the essence of the entire journey as if extracting a complex perfume.’
