Trite Palacio

When I take photographs, I try to make my images help to analyze the configuration of the space portrayed, its genealogy, as well as the use given to it by those who inhabit and have inhabited it. However, parallel to this analytical aspect there is an irrational aspect to my work. I choose a place because it somehow interrogates me not only for what it is, but for what it has been, for what it has of real and of ghost, for how its past is at the same time present as the wrinkles in the skin. As Italo Calvino says in The Invisible Cities, the city is made of the relationship between the measures of its space and the events of its past.
As if that space harbored a strange presence and the photograph was the medium that transcribes it, therein lies for me the interest of photographing places.
Born in Castellón in 1980, since 2009 I live and work in Paris.
