light - Body - Space
Without light, all matter would be invisible and without matter would not experience any light for us.
matter is reflected by their light and visible light by which it is reflected in the way of alternate and matter in our eyes and thus experienced.
These two phenomena are freeloaders of our daily existence and can be experienced only in its duality, in its constant mutual dependence in this way.
In the photographs of Victor Ribas seems that conditioning but are not broken.
The depicted bodies seem nothing external reflective of themselves to shine out.
The bodies are themselves matter and light at the same time. A strange light source is not localized. The in bright light in the luggage out of the drawbacks of want to be in contact with the outside like thrown into the open, can not be found. Where there is no light, as does the black holiday.

As a space of inner experience, he played and I inhabited that looks thrown back on themselves to unite with the others to themselves and the surrounding space to expand.
New routes will be created and completed, non-uniform static loads are better balanced, the design language further differentiated, demolished dilapidated, restored to preserve and meaningful new sites are established.
