Nia Diedla
Santiago, Chile, 1979
The day I started placing one image next to another on the table, I didn't know that I would find, in this gesture, the possibility of writing. Today, this writing has become the place I inhabit. The photography I practice has its origin in the intimate. The tale or the tearing of the everyday are transformed into stories, from which my Diary(s) are born, as well as these assemblages I call Geographies.
With them, the chapters of this question continue to fill, a question that keeps resonating in my mind and which I still can't answer, at least not entirely, because sometimes I can barely read it.
And it is within it that words such as memory, root, imprint, home, oblivion, tree repeatedly appear and disappear throughout my work.
