Can I close the window?

is an intimate story, built with photographs and texts of two people who were a couple for 5 years and who never saw each other again. She is a Mexican writer; he is a photographer from Barcelona.

The texts, written for another purpose and in another context, interact with the images, giving rise to hidden and new meanings, proposing a fictional story based on real events. Home, absence, love-heartbreak and grief weave this story of a key period in the photographer's life.

As an epilogue, some notes from the author's diary, during his depression after the breakup of the relationship, contextualize this story. Most of the photographs were taken in Mexico between 2008 and 2013, the rest were taken in different places during the author's crisis.

Sus ojos; enormes, de mirada infantil. Me inundaron ,como un mar; como una ola enorme que te traga. Sus pestañas negras y lacias eran el marco perfecto con las cejas densas.
Bajé la mirada y continué mi sopa de flores. De reojo ví cómo partía una hogaza de pan con las dos manos e introducía después un enorme trozo en la boca. Su mirada al vacío.
