“José Manuel Navia does not photograph what we know, but just what remains when we let go of it. His gaze is the gaze of those who cannot return. Nothing belongs to them, nothing can be theirs, and yet they want to return to the places where they lived and perhaps were happy. They do not ask to look at things to make them their own, but to see them for the last time (…) It is the purest gaze, the one with which the dead would look if they could return, the one that only desires to become light.”
Gustavo Martín
