PHOTOGRAPHY: "BEYOND THIS VISIBLE WORLD"
"The unconventional work of the Miami-based South American photographer Lili(ana) is exceptional in its approach, conceptualization, and implementation within visual culture. She creates an invisible empire for the eye, a deep story elaborated through mysterious layers, recognizing the experience of another world and making unique use of the toolbox of photography… The artist has created a visual chronicle of a metropolis, Miami, the direct result of an instantaneous take, which captures the energies of time and space. Her images are original; they do not undergo any analog or digital post-production. The artist's photographs depict the "invisibility" of the process of becoming a city, the dreamlike suggestion that it is not enough to understand the world around us, but that we must also feel the world which lies within us."
Tóth Judit Nikoletta on Lili(ana)'s exhibit: "Invisible Visible: Chronicles of Inner Miami," TOBE Gallery, Budapest, Hungary.
I use photography as a medium and as a tool to access and give expression to the inaccessible: that which lives in the realm of light, inside and outside matter, in between matter... places with infinite possibilities, timeless realities that co-exist with ours.
At the threshold of the visible, the camera captures the moment of encounter with the intangible forces that animate our world. Each photograph is influenced by its unique instant and location. What the camera receives in that instant remains sacred, unchanged. What emerges reveals not just what appears before the lens, but what exists in those liminal spaces—the infinite possibilities that dwell in those hidden realms.
This dialogue with subtle planes began over two decades ago. Since 1999, I have been engaged in this exploration I name 'Beyond this visible world'—a title that serves as an open framework, giving me the freedom to move forward or retreat without limit of expression, transcending whatever boundaries the medium might present, always in service to what seeks to be revealed.
