Doubt, breathe
Mauricio Acosta
Series description

In this series collages, superimposed images and traces of photographs offer an invitation to look without certainty. They ask us to doubt what we believe, to celebrate diversity and encourage respect for others. Doubting and breathing can be considered vital actions. The series of images, traces of photographs, and collages, among other techniques used, offer an invitation to look and precisely doubt what we are seeing. Details, objects, characters barely glimpsed, make up this series that aims to challenge absolute certainties, that celebrates the diversity of approaches and perspectives, that encourages questioning and wondering about what we see and what we believe. In a world where everyone believes they have the absolute truth, doubting, questioning, is almost a revolutionary act.

Biography

I was born in Argentina, in the 1970s, and I define myself as an explorer of photography and the visual arts. I develop professional communication and design work. I prefer anonymity for the presentation of artistic works and the pseudonym (Arl.t) refers to and pays homage to the Argentine writer Roberto Arlt, author of the "Aguafuertes porteñas", who proposed in his texts a critical, divergent, acidic view. and humorous at the same time about reality.
