Synopsis: The author inspired by the notion of the beauty of the natural and uncontaminated landscape, reinterprets the human body watching it with new eyes and from particular points of view, so widening its aesthetic value.
"The skin is the integument through which passes the mutual psychophysical perception among individuals. Place of body contact, communication of desire as well as the infection, which looked inevitable next track trajectories in search of knowledge of others. The skin also understood as protean externalization of the subjective nature, ethnicity, senility, malaise or bad mood, emotion, the disturbance, in practice, of the multisensorial factors. So, as a reflector, the video camera becomes the instrument of focus of epithelial tissue, in order to discover new interpretations, whether direct to the ritual or to social or religion or simple psychological approach, including through macro photographic abstractions."
