En nuestros archivos fotográficos familiares los protagonistas somos siempre nosotros, los humanos.
La casa, el escenario de nuestras vidas cotidianas, aparece siempre en segundo plano, retratada de manera involuntaria, como un efecto secundario.
"La casa en segundo plano - Registros involuntarios de una vivienda" es un proyecto de investigación que se propone volver la mirada sobre ese espacio doméstico que, aunque es el fondo de gran parte de los registros de nuestras vidas, suele pasar desapercibido.
Para este trabajo se estudiaron las fotografías tomadas por la familia Blanco-Balayan entre 1980 y 2023 en el domicilio ubicado en Av. Luis María Campos 1041 8º A. Se tomaron también, nuevos registros fotográficos que pudieran permitir pensar al mismo espacio en otras dimensiones.

A partir de todo este material se realizaron ensayos materiales explorando diferentes operaciones sobre las fotografías con el objetivo de encontrar formas en que la imagen pudiera dar cuenta del paso del tiempo, de la ausencia y de la memoria.
Con el material recolectado y producido se diseñó esta publicación de carácter personal e íntimo.

In our family photographic archives the main characters are always us, humans. Our houses, the scene of our daily life, always appears in the background, portrayed in an involuntary way, as a side effect.
“The house in the background - Involuntary records of a house” is a research project that tries to turn our gaze towards this domestic space that, although it is the background of much of the records of our lives, seems to go unnoticed.
For this work, photographs taken by the Blanco-Balayan family between 1980 and 2023 in the house located at Av. Luis María Campos 1041 8º A were studied. New photographic records were also taken in an attempt to find new images that could allow us to think about the same space in other dimensions.
Material experiments were made with all this photographs to explore different operations in order to find ways in which images could account for the passage of time, absence and memory.
With the material collected and produced, this personal and intimate publication was designed.
