Photographer of the Week
From January 19, 2026, to January 25, 2026 – Week 04
Behind the Shot: Spotlight Stories, Dias Tras Días, Cholula, Mexico, 2024
On the bicentennial of photography, Dias Tras Días stands as a contemporary act of resistance and creation, affirming the relevance of analog photography in a world saturated with ephemeral digital images. Through its slow pace and tangible materiality, fi lm photography fosters an intimate relationship with memory, time, and sensitivity.
The series is the result of an eleven-month journey, carried out between 2023 and 2025 from Peru to Alaska,Shot with my Pentax P30 camera.
Like a travel diary, Dias Tras Días develops a subjective photographic language, nourished by the legacy of documentary photography. The collection brings together black-and-white and color analog images, gathered day by day, on the margins of spectacular events.
The visual narrative is built from non-events: ordinary scenes observed by the roadside, in forests, cemeteries, or from the window of an airplane. Human fi gures often appear anonymous, almost ghostly, blending into empty or deserted landscapes.
Without a linear narrative, each image acts as a fragment, inviting the viewer to make their own connections. Dias Tras Días thus opens a space for projection, where looking becomes an act of imagination, and the banality of reality reveals an enigmatic poetry.
