When the memory turns to dust is a reflective process in which Ricardo Miguel Hernandez combines the empirical, psychological and critical. He conceives the random gesture between the selection of a certain photographic document and the preconception in invoice of different stories, as a rescue practice where the apparently disposable, old or residual bear the weight of a memory that is presented to him as a pretext to recontextualize and resemantize the frozen story on photographic paper. He conscientiously manipulates, meticulously elaborates other realities, juxtaposed, assembled, mutilated, where he does not intend to disguise the traces of time on paper, nor the seams resulting from these photo collages.
