In this photographic study of the self, Javier Vallhonrat set out to probe the artistic creation inherent in photography. Alone in his studio with no light, using only matches, in summer 1990 and throughout 1991 he worked on this extraordinary series of self-portraits entitled Autograms. Imagination and reality fade, leaving only photography in its pure state, the mysterious photography of para-normal thought, beyond the interplay of light and shade.
