This image is a photograph with digital manipulation, where I seek to explain, what it is to be reborn.
"To be reborn is to be aware of your own existence again," after selecting this phrase as my main idea, I decided to create a theatrical image, where in the middle of a scene with natural elements, there is a head resting, opens an eye and realizes that the elements that surround it also inhabit it. He is aware of his own existence, this time recognizing his roots, realizing that he is one more being within a natural system.
Post-photographty changed my way of understanding photography, since seeing it as a medium that could be intervened, either digitally or physically, opened up the possibilities of representing images that inhabit my mind, and not in real life. Adding to this fact the references I have kept in mind such as Peter Witkin, Diane Arbous, The Chapman brothers, Alfred Kubin, Goya ... have left me marked with their aesthetics of the grotesque, giving me the drive to create bizarre images, disturbing with a magical tint.

about the photographer
Hello, my name is Braulio Hernández, I am 19 years old, I am Mexican and I am passionate about visual arts. Since 5 years ago I started in the world of photography, however, as I developed my criteria, I realized that today, photography in its purest form tends to repetition, hyperdocumenting the world where we live. Fortunately I found an answer, post-photography.Post-photographty changed my way of understanding photography, since seeing it as a medium that could be intervened, either digitally or physically, opened up the possibilities of representing images that inhabit my mind, and not in real life. Adding to this fact the references I have kept in mind such as Peter Witkin, Diane Arbous, The Chapman brothers, Alfred Kubin, Goya ... have left me marked with their aesthetics of the grotesque, giving me the drive to create bizarre images, disturbing with a magical tint.
