ABSENCE AND PHOTOGRAPHY

 

From Latin absentia, Absens participle derived from the verb abesse. A compound of esse (be) with the prefix ab (remoteness). The word "essence" has shares the same root. Absence - essence. The music of absence despite being. The soul of the things. Silence.

 

It represents an incomplete "reality" which gives some room to the spectator, for them to became an interpreter, to became part of it. Seeking the identification by means of nostalgia or eagerness, as Hersson Piratoba said, "generating memories even without having experienced them."
