I have always thought about my interest in photography in relation to my father, who was a photographer and an activist against the dictatorship in Chile. But he suddenly stopped taking photographs at the end of the eighties, when his political commitment ended. I was born at that same time, and it's possible that this sequence of events, along with the fact that I grew up surrounded by photographs and cameras, led me to become a photographer myself.
This project stages a dialogue between a father and a daughter, attempting to reflect on images and how they conjure the emotional and the political, not only as evidence, but as possibilities yet to be invented.
By sifting through the remains of an archive, I want to enact the constant movement of my father: between his silence, his forgetfulness, and his past belief in other potential futures. I feel that this oscillating path between the active and the passive is connected to the reason why my father lost his passion for making images.
