His name was an almost premonitory seal. Loneliness. Soledad Cisneros. The daughter of the late poet Antonio Cisneros presents in public an individual exhibition that has several levels of intimacy and that has been taking shape since 2014. The name of the exhibition is Solitudes, can be seen at Carlos Caamaño Fotogalería (Bustamante y Ballivian 170, San Isidro), runs until February 19 and is divided into three series “Own Animals”, “Raw Meat”, and “Stopped Time”. This miniature tour—with fused animals, frozen people, and more—exposes the deepest fibers of creation, where action takes precedence before deciphering the emotional engine.
“My photos emerge from my space of solitude,” tells us Cisneros, who studied at the Kodak Institute, at the legendary Antonio Gaudí School of Photography, and at the Center of Photography. However, although he suspects that the “subconscious” may be an influence, he assures that these images are not constructed “from some emotion, from some feeling.” “I just do it, I put action into it,” he says.
As a button, review the sequence of the people trapped in ice cubes. «The image comes to me, I touch something and I put them in a cooler. I wasn’t thinking about blockages, paralysis, depression, isolation. I just put them in and images began to appear when the ice formed. And in this process I was shooting while the dolls melted and came out of their capsules.
And is not for less. He assures that the act of capturing scenes “heals” him and even helps him “rebuild” himself, a feeling that later found support when they emphasized that this photographic work was one of the forms of his mourning after the departure of his father. in 2012, although it was not an episode that levitated insistently in his head.
He says that he began to “take photographs of the animals” that he found in the poems of the author of Ceremonial chant against an anteater. “It was a project where I broke them up and put them back together,” he says, adding that it was “funny and playful at the time.” «I realized later that it was like breaking down and putting ourselves back together, in a healthy way, to see that we can continue walking. This was the process of my dad’s death with the animals. And I realized it after a long time, after talking about it with a person,” he reveals.
