How do absent specific places appear in the contemporary situation that surrounds us? Can we imagine alternative places to the ones we know? This work embodies the nostalgia of diaspora in the context of contemporary loss and absence of place - a new place constructed from the memory image of a specific place - in the form of a photosculpture. Through this practice of photosculpture, I resist both the optimization of advanced technology and the tendency to return to romantic nostalgia, and I try to find a terrain between mobility and specificity, rather than an exact and precise place. 26/11/24
