I travelled to a small village in Galicia called Vilar, to film a documentary about artist Elena del Rivero.
Her project was simple and radical: burn her own work.

While working as the camera operator with Improfilms,
I carried my Minolta X-700 and a couple rolls of film with me.

Between takes, smoke, and long days in Vilar,
I started photographing what was happening around us —
the fire, the silence, the village,
and the people behind the project.

Not the artwork itself,
but everything that existed around it.

These images are my personal diary of that time.
A quiet record of what disappears,
and the hands that make it happen.

burning project.

A film diary from the set.
