GET INSPIRED BY the most wonderful work of MANUEL ARCHAIN!

"That false photography moment".

In a blink the synchronicity of the multiplicity of factors meets the fake randomness of the moment

In a 1st instance we take what's capture by a photograph as real an unique, with a vague questioning on a 2nd level.

The 1st look proposes a situation that might change when we stop on the details. The artist that tells stories from his images, insists on showing only a closed vision of that moment, which is completed by the imagination of the viewer.

Is this just an instant or the multiplications of many instants that come together to show the singularity of a moment? Is this the truth that is trying to convince us that, that specific fragment of time is real?

Supposedly someone was there and we should accept it like what it is, a fragment of reality.

Moments that where never taken.

Manuel Archain (previously) born in 1983 in Argentina is an emerging star in contemporary photography. Here is a series of his photomanipulations titled "Small world".

Walking through thoughts, cars, books, streetlights, bikes, people, breakfast, dinner, travel landscapes, inner landscapes… So fast, so anxious we could be in the middle of a scene before we even get there. We could even go through it and be back without even noticing it. The usual, everyday dream, our out of scale perception and how each one of us is so into our personal world that we cannot see what is happening around us. The size and weight of things is so distorted, we can even manage to move into a small world. Why the size of a truck could not be the same as my personal scale of a tea cup? What is after the end of the table? Step by step, walking, dreaming or maybe awake, not being sure when and where it was. But sure, believe it or not, I saw it. I saw it with my own eyes.
