Born as the result of a long search investigating the “owner’s manuals”, Viewfinders is a collection of portraits where the characters are presented as “finders” of new “view” thanks to the mere action of handling the instrument.
Thus, the shifting of the traditional way of enjoying that space – interstitial unit collecting reality and imagination called “viewfinder” – becomes a generator of an almost allegorical mistery.
In the book format the series is displayed in this dummy with echoes to a manual of solely portraits which take their space back, floating and separating from the pages left without instructions.
Only few phrases and words survive, as they are saved, losing their instrumental sense and assuming an intellectual weight.
