Purpose Blur

Mental Health

«Purpose Blur» is a personal project in which to interpret, reinterpret and represent social anxiety and panic attacks I used the long exposure technique in the context of street photography.

After experiencing panic attacks and social anxiety caused by the end of quarantines in the Covid-19 pandemic, I planned this project that sought to describe the sensation caused by these mental disorders.
These episodes appear suddenly and are based on fears and apparent dangers, which are not imminent. Short duration but a strong sensation.
This intimate and personal project was developed through analog photography, with a long shutter photographic technique and with «dirty» processes throughout its development. I bought Fujifilm film rolls; Fuji Eterna 500T, Fuji Eterna Vivid 160T and Fuji Super F 250T and I loaded them in a 35mm canister for reflex cameras. Pushed to 400, 800 and even 1600 iso and developed in a cross-process for b&w without respecting classic development times or conventions.

The idea in the whole process was to relive these episodes of fear and let myself be carried away by those memories. To exemplify the above, the agitation of the developing tank was abrupt and with random rest times. All guided by reminiscent emotional states causing images with high contrast and excess grain, just as I think I have felt in crisis episodes.
All the places are photographed where I have ever experienced these sensations: public transport, commuting to work, driving my car, seeing my shadow, or simply being outside.

I took all of the above as a psychological exercise, through photography, to let out those new emotions for me, heal them and at the same time have fun with the whole analogous process.

"Nos Buscamos"

Ong

In 1986, Carmen Fonseca’s son was robbed from the Sótero del Río hospital. It took 32 years to meet him again.
The Non-profit organization “Nos Buscamos” is made up of a group of professional volunteers who work so that families that were separated at birth, achieve the longed-for embrace of reunion.
At 38, Constanza del Rio, its founder, found out that she was adopted. Not legally, but irregularly. For years she looked for her biological parents and on her way ended up creating the NGO. Its database accumulates 7,000 people looking for their biological ties. To date, it has joined 300 families separated at birth. For years, child trafficking was hidden within the walls of Chile’s wealthiest class.
