Debris investigates the representation of the 3-dimensional object into the 2-dimensional space of photography. The translation happens at least twice in the work: Firstly, in the pictures of ancient sculptures; Then in the pictures of paper sculptures made of printouts of those original images. A tension is created between the representation of the volume of the marble sculptures and the representation of the flatness of the cutouts. The background and lighting imply a perspectival space that is incongruent with the volume of those heads, generating an irrational, pictoric space.
The paper heads are built through cut and fold - no subtraction or gluing - so that they can stand on their own. Their constructive engineering highlights features of the face. They keep an expressive dimension (sometimes, when the original sculptures have blank eyes, black pupils are drawn.) The people who became stone and the people who froze them are – as in all photography - the faint light of dead stars.
