CATADORES / SCAVENGERS

All photographs were created in Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra) and Spain (Seville), at the sites of the Inquisition and the Jewish ghettos. The photos were made using a salvaged 120mm military film camera manufactured during Franco’s dictatorship. The colors, textures, shapes and multiple layers within the photographs are all created using only the unique aberrations of the cameras’ optics, and the chemistry of the film. There is no software or computer manipulation in the images.
