Pontevedra, 1993
"I take pictures today, tomorrow I don't know"
Cristina Stolhe's work analyzes the experience of everyday life through the photographic tool.
Using analog, digital and mobile camera, her work explores the raw essence of life while creating a “more than meets the eye” game, infusing images with emotions that may not seem apparent. Stolhe’s scenes elicit a sense of nostalgia, a familiar feeling, yet expose the intimacy of the moment through a voyeur lens, attempting to treasure the instant and make it everlasting. In a way, she invites us to consider how our individual experiences and memories shape our lives and identities.
However, the act of photographing is nothing but an impulse, a need expressed in what we understand by photographs, translated into an infinite album where the artist also assesses what photography is, regardless of the medium.
In 2018 the publishing house Terranova launched her first book Random Pictures Book, presented as an ode to mobile photography, in which she explores the over consumption of images nowadays.
