Between text and image, this photobook builds the complex history of three generations of women in the author’s life. The mother’s house, full of mascots, dolls and peculiar objects, becomes a space both fantasy and terrible, metaphor of an intricate and dramatic story that Sarai approaches oscillating between fiction and reality, in an honest and profound reflection in words and images. Donde no puedas verme is the construction of a fantasy refuge and although I play with fantasy, space is not fiction, it is our family history inhabiting this book.”
Between intervened file images, photographs taken by the author, texts, and a delicate invoice that includes several different booklets, the narration of Where you can not see me is constructed, materialized in a fascinating object that hides and reveals disturbing secrets.
