What would happen if we had to leave Earth? If our actions and the irreparability of their effects made this place uninhabitable, where would we go? ‘Inminencia efímera’ (Ephemeral imminence) is an invitation to imagine possible destinations.

The imminent, what will happen. The ephemeral, that which is as long as it exists and ceases to exist. Both imply promises of future times and evoke, in essence, a warning.

This series features seemingly faraway landscapes, but not distant. In them infinite paradoxes coexist: temporal, spatial, luminous, dimensional. Conjugated in an unknown future time, these landscapes present ambiguous scenarios where desolation, beauty, stars and rocks are as much as the time and space they inhabit. Like the cracks through which the light sneaks, its inhospitable beauty makes present the existential notion that titles the series.

From the spectator-representation dialectic and the distance it allows, these artworks promote a consciousness that operates from the fictitious and perches on the entry and exit of an image. This photographic series glimpses futures from a present in which preventive actions are still possible. As if from the now, the images gave way to futures that are in another time and space.
