The three photos I present at this exhibition relate to the topic at hand via their map-like character, the logic of networked systems. Hands (1993) comprises two independent "objects", stored in speci men jars, used as demonstration tools in medical studies. These objects represent the density and dispersal of the arterial network as is revealed on removal of the skin.

Through science we are aware of our inner structures; moreover, due to the present state of technology, we even have visual experience (images provided by X-ray, fiber optic video cameras, electron microscope, computerized tomography or magnetic resonance) of interior fields of our bodies that have been "invisible" for thousands of years.

The human genetic structure, the nervous and vascular system manifest networks that are interior paths of "communication" developed for the construction or the operation of the human body. Skull Planet (1999) and Meander (2000) are based on an analogy, illustrating how easily we can manipulate images (such as the skull) to present the picture of an "unknown planet".

The skull, in this case, is not meant as an iconographic metaphor of destiny, but rather as a scientific object belonging to the Universe, awaiting its own discovery.

Skull Planet has been conceived as a visual parallel to Lewis M. Rutherford's 19th century Moon Pictures, whereas Meander bears the characteristic features of photos provided by the NASA satellites.
