"El Alma de la Ausente" nace como un proyecto expositivo que va mas allá de la mera exhibición de imágenes religiosas. La obra pretende una reflexión hacia ciertos temas introspectivos, tales como la muerte, el juego de los dobles, el trauma, el placer, lo sagrado, el vacío, la metamorfosis, etc.
Estas fotografías dialogan tácitamente con una de las obras mas grandes del cine sueco "Det sjumde inseglet", 1957, (El séptimo sello) de Ingmar Bergman. El cine de Bergman siempre se caracterizó por la introspección y el tratamiento de los temas que mas afectan al ser humano. En "El séptimo sello" se expresa el existencialismo, la eterna búsqueda del ser humano por darle sentido a su vida, la vida, la muerte y todo lo que ello conlleva.
"El Alma de la Ausente" intenta plantear la ambigüedad de los temas antes mencionados, como característica principal, proponiendo al espectador que apele a su subjetividad para conectarse con lo mas oculto de su ser. Lilia Pereira.

"Les Deux Magots (French pronunciation: [le dø maɡo]) is a famous café and restaurant situated at 6, Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris's 6th arrondissement, France. It once had a reputation as the rendezvous of the literary and intellectual elite of the city. It is now a popular tourist destination. Its historical reputation is derived from the patronage of Surrealist artists, intellectuals to the likes of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as young writers, such as Ernest Hemingway. Other patrons included Albert Camus, Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, Bertolt Brecht, Julia Child and the American writers James Baldwin, Chester Himes and Richard Wright.
The Deux Magots literary prize (Prix des Deux Magots) has been awarded to a French novel every year since 1933 at Les Deux Magots.
The 6th arrondissement of Paris (VIe arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of the capital city of France. In spoken French, it is referred to as le sixième.
The arrondissement, called Luxembourg in a reference to the seat of the Senate and its garden, is situated on the Rive Gauche of the River Seine. It includes educational institutions such as the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, the École des hautes études en sciences sociales and the Institut de France, as well as Parisian monuments such as the Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe, the Pont des Arts, which links the 1st and 6th arrondissements over the Seine, Saint-Germain Abbey and Saint-Sulpice Church.
This central arrondissement, which includes the historic districts of Saint-Germain-des-Prés (surrounding the abbey founded in the 6th century) and Luxembourg (surrounding the Palace and its Gardens), has played a major role throughout Parisian history and is well known for its café culture and the revolutionary intellectualism (existentialism, authors such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir) and literature (writers Paul Éluard, Boris Vian, Albert Camus and Françoise Sagan) it has hosted.
With its cityscape, intellectual tradition, history, architecture and central location, the arrondissement has long been home to French intelligentsia. It is a major locale for art galleries and fashion stores, as well as Paris's most expensive area. The arrondissement is one of France's richest districts in terms of average income; it is part of Paris Ouest alongside the 7th, 8th and 16th arrondissements, as well as the Neuilly-sur-Seine inner suburb. The 6th arrondissement is the smallest in Paris in terms of area covered.
Paris (French pronunciation: [paʁi]) is the capital and most populous city of France, with an estimated population of 2,150,271 residents as of 2020, in an area of 105 square kilometres (41 square miles). Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of Europe's major centres of finance, diplomacy, commerce, fashion, science and arts. The City of Paris is the centre and seat of government of the Île-de-France, or Paris Region, which has an estimated official 2020 population of 12,278,210, or about 18 percent of the population of France. The Paris Region had a GDP of €709 billion ($808 billion) in 2017. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit Worldwide Cost of Living Survey in 2018, Paris was the second most expensive city in the world, after Singapore, and ahead of Zürich, Hong Kong, Oslo and Geneva. Another source ranked Paris as most expensive, on a par with Singapore and Hong Kong, in 2018.
The city is a major railway, highway and air-transport hub served by two international airports: Paris–Charles de Gaulle (the second busiest airport in Europe) and Paris–Orly. Opened in 1900, the city's subway system, the Paris Métro, serves 5.23 million passengers daily; it is the second busiest metro system in Europe after the Moscow Metro. Gare du Nord is the 24th busiest railway station in the world, but the first located outside Japan, with 262 million passengers in 2015 Paris is especially known for its museums and architectural landmarks: the Louvre was the most visited art museum in the world in 2019, with 9.6 million visitors. The Musée d'Orsay, Musée Marmottan Monet, and Musée de l'Orangerie are noted for their collections of French Impressionist art, the Pompidou Centre Musée National d'Art Moderne has the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe, and the Musée Rodin and Musée Picasso exhibit the works of two noted Parisians. The historical district along the Seine in the city centre is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site, and popular landmarks in the city centre included the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, on the Île de la Cité, now closed for renovation after the 15 April 2019 fire. Other popular tourist sites include the Gothic royal chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, also on the Île de la Cité; the Eiffel Tower, constructed for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889; the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, built for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900; the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Élysées, and the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur on the hill of Montmartre.
Paris received 38 million visitors in 2019, measured by hotel stays, with the largest numbers of foreign visitors coming from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and China. It was ranked as the second most visited travel destination in the world in 2019, after Bangkok and just ahead of London. The football club Paris Saint-Germain and the rugby union club Stade Français are based in Paris. The 80,000-seat Stade de France, built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is located just north of Paris in the neighbouring commune of Saint-Denis. Paris hosts the annual French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament on the red clay of Roland Garros. The city hosted the Olympic Games in 1900, 1924 and will host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The 1938 and 1998 FIFA World Cups, the 2007 Rugby World Cup, as well as the 1960, 1984 and 2016 UEFA European Championships were also held in the city. Every July, the Tour de France bicycle race finishes on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Brian was in an existential funk.
Get up, take the subway, go to work, take the subway, go to bed… what for?
He never realized that his very presence gave us strength, as he was proof there was real porpoise in life.

Danish existential philosopher Soren Kierkegaard died at the age of 42 at the height of his fame. He was laid to rest in Assistens Kirkegård Cemetery in Copenhagen (Kierkegaard's last name does sound like the word for cemetery in Danish, i.e. 'church-garden'). He was buried together with members of his family. This photo shows one of the memorial stones in the family plot, with Soren Kierkegaard's name below two siblings who died aged 12 and 25. The writing below Kierkegaard's name is a poem by an 18th century Danish Christian hymn writer, Hans Brorson, that Kierkegaard wished to be inscribed on his tombstone:
"It is a little while
then I have won,
then the whole struggle
with one disappeared,
then I can rest
in rose halls,
and incessantly
my Jesus speech"
For quite a while I debated whether or not to upload this to flickr. This is very confessional, and brought tears to my eyes when I scanned it and saw the results.
This is about my childhood and my childhood dreams. That tree is about as old as I am (parts are frequently sawed off so it doesn't destroy everything around it), and I'd spend lonely afternoons lying around the grass, listening to Astor Piazolla on a cassette tape walkman, dreaming of being great -- an artist, a scient, a poet, a warrior, a magician, a king.
I seem to be cursing things as I photograph them; many urban scenes I've posted on flickr have been destroyed to build something else weeks after I took pictures. I don't know how I would react if the Seventh Tree (don't ask) was cut down. I might lose days of work lying on my bed crying about how living means throwing away most dreams to focus on a few and how one is constantly losing almost (and this is a key word: almost) everything that once mattered.
Anyway, there it is -- a representation of my happiest and most meaningful formative moments and of the existential weight that being a dreamer carries, captured in a 36 x 24mm piece of film. This is probably the most personally significant photograph I ever took. Thread with care on this one.
They sit under the dim, flickering candles and the glow of a dusk-soaked horizon. Their faces are drawn tight with the weight of unspoken truths. The city below sprawls like a labyrinth of enchanted uncertainties, its lights starting to blink like fractured stars as if taunting them with the chaos they’ve chosen to leave behind or perhaps walk into. Their glasses, half-empty or half-full depending on one’s disposition, quiver in their hands with every shallow sip.
The man, his jacket glinting as though armoured against his hesitations, stares at the woman with a tender and probing gaze. But his eyes don’t rest entirely on her; they pierce through her, reaching toward a reflection of himself.
She, wrapped in the blood-red softness of her dress, sits poised but restless. Her lips parted slightly, perhaps to say something, but the weight of their journey and the choice to abandon one life for another seals her words before they can escape.
Perhaps it is a subtle act of rebellion for them to sit together, sharing their time over the remnants of the past. They will raise their glasses in a tentative toast to a future that may prove as fragile as the amber liquid within them. And, arrive at the crushing realisation that freedom does not equate to instant salvation; rather, it forges the endless burden of choice yet to come.
What's the point of living in Las Vegas if you don't get trashed with your bestie on a random weeknight?
A lonely road disappearing into the unknown, where distance, silence, and time merge into a reflection on impermanence and the inevitable end of every journey.
I can't find a suitable description . Just mix Fellini , Nietzsche and Sartre for a couple of weeks and you'll understand where i'm coming from . I understand it might not be to everyone's taste .

'...we can be nothing without playing at being. "If I am a café waiter... this can be only in the mode of not being one." And that is true. If I could be a café waiter, I should suddely constitute myself as a contingent block of identity. And that I am not. This contingent being in-itself always escapes me. But in order that I may freely give a meaning to the obligations which my state involves, then in one sense at the heart of the for-itself, as a perpetually evanescent totality, being-in-itself must be given as the evanescent contingency of my situation.' - From Being and Nothingness (1943)

I chose the protestors I saw outside from a bus as my topic. Military armies are always blocking protestors regardless of where they are. I wondered if any of the military soldiers has ever thought they would like to join the protest. So, I created these designs imagining what would it be like if soldiers decide to join the protest and follow their physical and social essences over human existentialism in this imprisoned society. To express hidden spirit of resistance of the military officers in my designs, I included quotes related to anarcho-syndicalism. I also made it possible to hide the quotes to illustrate how the soldiers can be hiding their basis whenever they want to. There are holes and ripped parts on the designs to give an image of the soldiers banishing their self-protective and defensive sides away. I used bondage fashion as a reference in creating designs for the protestors because I think of them as weak and restricted people.

Le Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris, France
I headed south to le Cimetière Montparnasse. After the Paris churchyards closed in the 18th century, a full three quarters of a century before the English closed their urban churchyards, four great cemeteries were laid out to the north, east, south and west of the city. Pere Lachaise is the most famous, Montmartre the most aesthetically pleasing, but Montparnasse probably the most interesting. I spent about three hours and three hundred photographs pottering about. Some of the famous graves are easy to find because they are well documented, and visitors have placed tributes on them. For example, the first grave I went in search of, Samuel Beckett's, has metro tickets placed on it by visitors as a mark of having waited for something.
I already knew where Beckett's grave was, but two others in the same section were more difficult, as I did not have exact locations. I eventually found the grave of Phillipe Noiret, an actor I very much admired particularly for his role in my favourite film, Cinema Paradiso, but also for his role in Le Cop, which has criminally never had a DVD release with English subtitles. There were no public tributes on it, merely a plaque from his wife saying 'pour mon Cher Philippe' and a picture of a horse. While I was photographing it, four gendarmes, two men and two women, passed behind me and came across to see why I was photographing it. "Noiret!" exclaimed one of the men, and then "mais pourquoi le cheval?" wondered one of the women. But they didn't stop for me to explain, for I had read an article about Noiret about fifteen years previously in a copy of La Nouvelle Observateur while staying in a hotel in Boulogne, and I knew that he had bred horses in his spare time.
The other grave I had hoped to find in this section was that of Susan Sontag, but I couldn't track it down.
The joint headstone of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir is easily found by the main entrance, and I thought it rather sweet that they were remembered together. Despite all their efforts for existentialism and feminism, it was like a headstone in a quiet English churchyard which might have 'reunited' or 'together in eternity' inscribed on it. I think he wasn't pleasant company, and while she was certainly more intelligent than he was she made intellectual arrogance respectable. I photographed their headstone more out of interest than admiration.
Admiration was at the heart of my search for a gravestone lost in sections 6 and 7 which I think is not found often. It is for the surrealist photographer Man Ray. I was delighted to find it after barely 20 minutes searching. He designed it himself, and in his own handwriting into the cement it says 'unconcerned, but not indifferent', which could be taken as rebuff to Satre and his circle I suppose. Charmingly, beside it like the other half of a book is a photograph of him with his wife and the inscription 'Juliet Man Ray 1911-1991, together again'. Enough to leave De Beauvoir spluttering into her Pernod.

"Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism and phenomenology, and one of the leading figures in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism.
"His work has also influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies, and continues to influence these disciplines.
"Sartre was also noted for his open relationship with prominent feminist and fellow existentialist philosopher and writer Simone de Beauvoir. Together, Sartre and de Beauvoir challenged the cultural and social assumptions and expectations of their upbringings, which they considered bourgeois, in both lifestyle and thought."
