“The trees of my childhood are white. Memories are like photographies. They have some relation to reality, but we manipulate it to suit our desires and needs. Photography is like memories. Need some reality, but we process it to suit our desires and needs. Additionally, photography has as high a possibility of manipulation that is increasingly removed from that dream “objective reproduction of reality”. Reality is undergoing a process of virtualization that does not do need to leave your computer to produce images as the cultural model of Photography.”
