This text defines the concept of primeval photography, intended
as that of the origins, in its original and virgin condition.
It is a speculative analysis that applies the following method:
by means of an extreme synthesis of the primary elements that
form an image that are light, texture, geometrical composition of
lines and curves, colours we can obtain a cross-section of reality.
It is thanks to this process that cleans and highlights these
elements, which consequently become absolute categories, that
we obtain the required operational tools for identifying this part of
Everything.
Thus we are able to carry out an anatomical survey of
the Being.
We will obtain a recognisable slide, chosen thanks to the balance
of the by now purified elements that form and delineate it, that we
will be able to analyse as if under the lens of a speculative
microscope.
It is with the reduction to the essential elements that make up the
image that we will start to inner and therefore called speculative.
And more items will be restored to their original essence and more
investigation will be profound.
The slave is now master.
We will no longer filming the reality around us but a reflection of
ourselves.
