'Detailed close-ups of far-off scenes' is an ongoing project in which I investigate and confront constructed realities, myths and believes, the blur between truth and fiction and faith, and what appears to be an evidence of a truth.

The work consist in documenting what I consider arquetypal situations of forgeries, hoaxes or simple fabrications of lies and truths with the sole intention of deceiving, as well as cases in which the only thing at stake is perception and belief. The documentation of each situation consists of images and/or objects that are accompanied by a text that describes the facts being documented, since it’s hardly possible for an image alone to tell the story behind it.

The situations I choose to document jump from particular to particular, in a sort of disorienting entropy in which you can’t completely find or understand any discernible formula in how information is organized and distributed. The 'entries' cover topics as distinct as politics, science, art, history, architecture, religion or food." (Carlos Azeredo Mesquita)
