Intervened photography, printed on fabrics, 82 x 57 in.
Utilizing an assortment of mediums and materials, including painting, sculpture, photography, sound, and video, Luján Candria redefines the conventional boundaries of contemporary photography. Her practice involves the layering of printed photo-based textiles to create mini installations that explore the concept of memory and the progressive deterioration of our past recollections. Amidst a world overflowing with images, from the high-resolution to the pixelated, her work makes us take a moment to reflect our surroundings.

Collage, assemblage, layering, and repetition are always part of my creative process. In my latest series, this image transformation process supports the analogy between memories and landscapes in a poetic way. The use of collage in the process is linked to how memories become a kind of collage in our minds.

I explore different landscapes and use them to talk about memories and how they are transformed in our minds. In the creative process, I intervene in the photographic images. I juxtapose, multiply, and fragment them. As many of our memories fade over time, they come back to us as a different narrative. The sharpest images get mixed with the more diffuse ones until they turn into almost imperceptible forms or completely disappear to become a plain color.
