‘”One day I’ll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader; if they don’t see happiness in the picture, at least they’ll see the black.”.’. –Marker, C. Sans Soleil, 1983.

Imagery is restless. It has no consumption waste; and yet, hails from a depleted sense of reality that feeds upon itself. As in a cycle –may there be a more contemporary notion. Images of real things. Images of images. Reinterpretation, appropriation…; it all seems applicable to fairy everything. And it all leads to the attribution of new meanings.

Lorena Articardi (b. 1992, Italian-Uruguayan), is a visual artist and scholar working with photography and motion images as her primary mediums. She describes her material-discursive practice as a study on light, approaching light as both form and content. Purposely flawed, brutally honest; her subversive practice takes the form of an intimate photographic reportage that samples in fragments, and thinks of captures as a form of inscribed light-sensitive memory. Light is inherently restless and, as a light impression, thus is the photographic image.
