    Photograph   'An artwork should be produced in the spectator's head' - Santiago Sierra. In my practice, the action of removing parts of an image aims to recover the role of imagination as a value to construct our knowledge. So the figurative is used as a metaphor, to express a concept or a feeling. I like to speak for universal values, and an excerpt from an image can create an initial suggestion. Furthermore, the lack of connotations of any person shown in my artworks blocks any documentary reading. In this image, a cut-out photograph is standing in the exhibition space. It only gives us a suggestion of the bigger image. Let your mind imagine the rest of the picture!
