“THE TREE IS ALIVE WITHIN ME.
I AM THE TREE.
I AM MY ENTIRE FAMILY.”

ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY

ABOUT
TRANSGENERATION

In this series titled “Transgeneration,” photography is the product of a performance in which I become different men and women throughout my family history; I recreate a moment lived by an ancestor using my body as a vehicle. In order to accomplish this, I use costumes and characterization, I let my hair or beard grow, I shave, at times I wear prosthetics. I perform all the necessary acts in order to appear as similar as possible to the character I am going to play.
