It is not an hour, and gold is not gold. All the concepts with which we measure and understand the world no longer apply. We are in a place where everything is in doubt, in the realm of faith. A photographic vision is revealed to us; The photographs are burning, they emit heat, fire and boiling heart. It seems as if the images are about to consume themselves, but miraculously they do not eat. All we have left is to take off our shoes (or take off all our clothes). In this state, naked and awake, we are defenseless, the shame appears, the gaze lowered. The images call our gaze, they need it, but at the same time threaten to destroy it, to maim it. Out of fear, in a desperate effort to defend ourselves, we hide our faces, covering our shame. Like hiding your gaze, seeing can also be a means of overcoming fear. Vision, through photography, is an act of collecting evidence, creating certainty, guaranteeing the existence of things. But here things do not appear in their usual form: light is converted in heat, face instead of surface. The thermal photograph estimates and reflects the world, not according to the amount of light reflected from it, but according to the level of heat or cold it emits. 'Drawing in light' changes in 'painting with warmth'. The light was gone, as if someone had stuck his finger deep into the hole of the dark chamber and blocked any possibility of penetration of light. In the dark, the hands are sent in all directions to compensate for the eyes that gave up the vain effort. The hands groping, palpating, limb bumping into the organ, skin rubbing against the skin, body piercing body. Friction creates irritation and rubbing, and these produce pain. Pain is an opportunity to confirm our existence, a painful body is a living body. In an alchemical way the pleasure is conditioned by pain, cold blood and hot blood mix, and the body's juices become pure gold. Mental alchemy is a process of constant change. All transformation and change involve the death of the old to derive the new. The finger that has been pushed deep into the flesh, into the wound that has become pus, only removes the doubt. Only from the encounter with the flesh is the spirit revealed, and it is possible to re-believe what is invisible.
