THE IMPOSSIBLE MONOLOGUES
It is often but a narrow line between fact and fiction. Jorge Albán walks this thin dividing line when he combines intimate images of a domestic nature with apparently disconnected statements. The texts do not elucidate the photographs. Rather, the ‘impossible monologues’ reinforce the disorienting effect of Albán’s close-ups of everyday acts. Albán chiefly seems to allude to role patterns in family life. But the peculiar combinations of words and images call up all sorts of new associations, consciously and subconsciously.
