La série de coins

• Photographer
  Silvino González Morales

Photography is both a mirror and a mirage. Each photography speaks of who is behind the lens as much as it speaks of the subject in front of it. It is a register not only of surfaces, shadows and lights but also of emotions, fears and thoughts. This series was born with another goal in mind, but over the time (5 years or so) it became more and more related with thoughts about human psyche, dark places inside our minds, and my own mental states. As a person with functional autism, some OCT and bipolar disorder; for me the labyrinths of the individual and collective mind are a passion.

I began my life as a photographer a bit late, after my struggle to find myself in engineering I finally decided to follow my Father's footsteps and pursue my love for photography. My professional career is as a graphic designer, but photography is a special, unique way to control and mitigate my bipolar condition. It is my personal treatment and many of my works are deeply influenced by my changing and contradicting mood states. But it was the discovery of the alternative photographic processes and the influence of Omaira Abadia that defined, and refined my approach to photographic art.
