				The collaboration between Bárbara Sánchez-Kane (Mérida, Yucatán, 1987) and Sofía Alazraki (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1991) began as an exchange of letters between two friends. Love letters in odd formats. Like throwing a dart from one end of the world to the other.
At first glance, these photos give the impression of an exquisite corpse, sculptures made with parts that are added without a rational order (their logic is unconscious, rather). Sometimes they look like little Frankensteins made of borrowed parts to animate a strange animal; at other times they have the comic qualities of collage, of the sudden laughter provoked by the juxtaposition of two things that contradict each other. They are also erotic cyborgs, representing the fetishes of their authors. Made up of second-hand objects, they also raise the question of their past and the future that awaits them. They are sculptures made by two artists who love to manipulate religious, lesbian, and fashion symbols.
Just as the objects have changed hands and had many lives, the photographs are a testimony to the relationship between Sánchez-Kane and Alazraki, which has also gone through many stages; they are a labor of love that keeps changing shapes, an exercise in abandoning the ego to create a single and shared universe, with no clear authorship, but which cannot exist without the other.
