Garaicoa seeks to expand the practice of the medium but, beyond that, it seems that he is trying to confer a certain materialistic consistency to the plastic and poetic derivations of the projection of desire that his work contains. The photographic would lend an anchor in the real for that painful territory of broken dreams and ruins in the midst of his insistent combination of reconstruction, re-recontextualization, mediated observation of detail and surreal humorous explosion.
