Statement

Germán's work explores fantastic worlds from various disciplines such as animation, drawing and photography, where she alludes metaphors of dreams that arise from a literary influence of contemporary tales (“The wind of the sun”, 2010-2013). Since her photographic series “Metamorphosis of a cloud” (2013-2014), the light, the landscape and the meteorological phenomena began to acquire a greater presence, focusing on the cloudiness of the sky and its characteristics, as the duration time of a cloud, registered in a series of snapshots (“Ten minutes of life”, in process), its displacement from one point to another through registration in a series of GIFs ("Studies of precipitations", in process) and finally without letting go an essential part; the contemplation of the sky through a pictorial and literary collection (“Variations”, in process), where more than a photographer Germán becomes an observer, looking for a poetic approach to the sky through the study of clouds.
