Benevolent pleasures of sight
Rare Books
"Technically, not all of Camille Solyagua's photographs are still lifes; nor do her subjects always sit still for her to gaze or gape meaningfully at their arrangement. Yet in her delicate and precise treatment of natural stuff--of tiny birds and jellyfish, of plants and wings, of feathers and vines, of avian illustrations and nocturnal skies--she accomplishes two fundamental requirements of still lifes: she prolongs the glance, thanks to photography itself, and allows it to optically savor her stilled objects; and she 'epitomizes' by creating edited and concentrated displays of natural forms and shapes, much as certain natural histories do"--From introduction.

4 [pi] R²
Rare Books
"Inspired by the complexities of the sphere and its profound significance in our universe, Camille Solyagua has developed a technique of projecting light through a combination of liquids onto photographic paper, producing images of distant worlds that exist for only a matter of seconds. These elegant photograms play with our perceptions of light and dark, liquid and solid, time, distance, and scale. They suggest the invisible by focusing on the visible, thereby constructing an enigmatic bridge between the micro and macrocosmic world. Her small-scale liquid concoctions help us to reflect on the mystery of the cosmos and the delicate balance in which our world exists"--Publisher's description.

Confessionali
Rare Books
"These images of confessional boxes in Northern Italy symbolize what I continue to search for--the invisible within the visible, the intangible contained in the tangible, the illusion of reality. If words, thoughts and emotions could be made visual, these containers of memories would reveal a multitude of densely-packed hidden secrets, confessed, exchanged and discarded in return for some prayers and the blessing and forgiveness of a priest"--From photographer's introduction.
