“A territory is told in all its length and narrowness without naming itself. Twenty years of images that build a unique place that is all other places. Between the pages, the photographs scroll like appearances, inventions of a tightrope walker. Hardly do we have time to see them disappear. They move and something moves in us after seeing them. A country confined and at the same time fully open. A metaphorical country that is quite real. A Berma country. ”

Nía Diedla
Photographe
Nía Diedla (Chile, 1979), photographer. Lives in Paris since 2006. What interests her photographically are the roots, our (our) genealogical tree (s), childhood, the invented memory that comes from her and this mythology that we build with the missing pieces. His work is a half-open place where images are confused with words, whether written or not.
