Statement
My practice brings together documentary photography, archives, and the memory of urban spaces from a historical, social, and economic perspective. I explore the ways technology enables the recording of territory, creating hybrid images between topographic documentation and algorithmic invention. In this series, I investigate what happens when photography ceases to capture the light of the physical world and instead records the fragmented memory of virtual environments. Through appropriation and media translation, I navigate digital mapping platforms and capture on screen urban fragments, architectural details, and everyday objects present in the network’s photogrammetric flow.
