Marks

In the sheets, the weave of the skin still prevails,

the pillow holds the scent of the hair that drifts away from the body

and the unconscious movement still follows the traces.

It’s refuge, embrace, shelter, protection.

I’m myself, I’m us, I’m place, I’m identity.

Marks is a photographic series that tries to reflect on the refuge created in the intimicy of a bed. The images, taken over seven days just after the bed has been used, reveal the marks left behind. They are traces of an identity; of a being and its refuge. We use the bed as a resignified space; a queer place that has been transformed and disguised, that has become something entirely different and absorbs the identity of the subject.

Through the traces and wrinkles left on the sheets, we reveal the meaning of that place; what may or may not have happened there, and the languages ​​and stories marked. The marks left over seven days tell the story of the one who inhabits that space and, even if it were abandoned, the imprint of what once was will always remain.
