“YURIAN QUINTANAS SHOWS US A PATHOPHYSICAL PHOTOGRAPHY THAT
HE HAS ALREADY PRACTICED IN OTHER WORKS SUCH AS SILENT ROOMS,
WHERE HE IMAGINED THE LIFE OF HIS HOME WHEN HE IS NOT THERE.
PATAPHYSICS IS, ACCORDING TO ITS INVENTOR, THE SURREALIST ALFRED
JARRY, THE SCIENCE OF IMAGINARY SOLUTIONS. IN THE PATHAPHYSICAL
UNIVERSE EVERYTHING IS ABNORMAL AND EXTRAORDINARY. THE RULE
THAT RULES IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE EXCEPTION. THE TERM IS A
CONTRACTION OF THE GREEK “EPÍ TA METÁ TE PHYSIKÁ” AND REFERS TO
EVERYTHING THAT IS BEYOND PHYSICS.” (CARLES MERCADER, DIRECTOR
OF LA NUU FESTIVAL)

TO MAKE THIS PROJECT I IMPOSED MYSELF ONE RULE, ALL THE
PHOTOGRAPHS HAD TO BE MADE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF MY HOUSE. FROM
THIS SINGLE GUIDELINE, I FIRST BEGAN TO PHOTOGRAPH THE SPACES, THEN
THE DOMESTIC OBJECTS AND FINALLY THEIR INHABITANTS. BUT AS I WAS
ACCUMULATING IMAGES, I FELT THE NEED TO TRANSFORM ALL THAT
PALPABLE AND EVIDENT REALITY, TO ADAPT IT TO MY SPEECH, AND THUS
SPEAK NOT ONLY ABOUT THE TANGIBLE BUT ALSO ABOUT WHAT WE DO
NOT SEE.

THE FINAL RESULT IS DREAM MOONS, A SEQUENCE THAT MIXES
PHOTOGRAPHY AND TEXTS TO ENTER INTO A DREAMLIKE AND UNSTABLE
WORLD AND MAKE US TRAVEL THROUGH THE DREAM OF THE AUTHOR.
