This series, which began in 2002, is still ongoing. The silhouettes are not obtained by shooting real people, but come from pre-existing images, selected from newspapers or magazines, cut out, and photographed against the light. The silhouettes are not simple shadows; fragments of other images are inserted into them: mountains, elements of Baroque architecture, circles in the water of a lake, candy, ruins, Native American tattoos, crowds, cars, insects, parties, bursting balloons, etc.
The characters, named "Krio" or "Rosa", etc., are none other than the collection of diverse and varied images, dark to the limit of discernibility. Their bodies thus embody a world beyond time and space.
