Visual Culture for the digital age
"Can't Believe I Live Here" is a series of photographs I've made in America since filing for my green card. Exploring the privilege I feel being able to immigrate to this country by choice and the frustration I feel at not being able to leave while it processes for an indefinite amount of time.
Over my lifetime, I’ve witnessed the changing landscape around my residence due to commercialization. This transformation has affected the traditional agricultural foundation of my hometown, gradually making way for an expanding urban environment.

Rhizome is a philosophical concept that describes a nonlinear network of heterogeneous elements that connects any point to any other point. The rhizome metaphor was adopted by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze and by the psychoanalyst Félix Guattari in their work “A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia” (Mille plateaux, 1980).
It characterizes a type of philosophical research that gives rise to what would later be called" rhizomatic thought", a type of thought that would have a fundamental nature of allowing an open circulation between concepts, favoring differentiated paths and unprecedented connections. Therefore, the goal of this long-term photographic project-series, entitled "✻.·.·✧.·.·✦⌇.·.·✧☄︎☄︎.·.·✦⑊" is to collect indefinite number of photographs conceived and irrationally generated by emotional impulses. They'll then be placed in a rhizomatic order to find connections, original paths, new interpretations and hidden meanings.
In Gestalt therapy, the term "fertile void" describes the point zero: an intermediate point of balance and homeostasis, full of possibilities…

Hola! I'm Diego Alejandro from Bolivia, these are some of my favourite pictures I made in my country and on my trips to Europe, most of them taken on 35mm film, my approach is somehow minimal and I love the vast opportunities when it comes to street photography and landscape. I also love experimenting; I'm still on the way to find my own voice/style and enjoying every bit of the process so far.
I have always had a particular interest in exploring new and unfamiliar landscapes. They captivate me due to their novelty and the fact that I have never experienced them before. The aftermath of a major fire, in particular, creates a unique environment in an area that would not typically encounter such a natural force.
