Starting from the premise that an archive is constructed with the intention of grouping and accumulating elements that already exist, and of imposing an order and a name on them in order to facilitate their study and use in fields for which they were not originally created, my idea is precisely to deconstruct that order and play with it, with the aim of reconsidering each of its elements in isolation and stripped of the original interest or value with which they were included in the archive.

However, it is very difficult to break an order without falling into another, and this interest in generating a series of images that bear no relation to one another leads me to study the conditions and consequences of randomness, as well as its intrinsic impossibility.

My proposal therefore focuses on the study of different ways of generating random numerical combinations and, in a second phase, working with the images selected through these processes in order to create a new work.

The numbers generated through these “random” systems would correspond to the registration numbers of the different collections that make up the photographic archive of the University of Navarra. These images would serve as the basis for a new composition, which I would transform into a drawing in order to also eliminate their original photographic nature and to reconsider their documentary value in relation to their aesthetic or purely informational content.
