Between text and image this photobook builds the complex story of three generations of women in the author's life. The mother's house, full of pets, dolls and peculiar objects, becomes a space that is both fanciful and terrible, a metaphor for an intricate and dramatic history that Saraí approaches by oscillating between fiction and reality, in an honest and deep reflection in words and images. "Donde no puedas verme is the construction of a fantasy refuge, and although I play with fantasy, the space is not fictional, it is our family history inhabiting this book." Combining altered archive images, photographs taken by the author, texts and a delicate construction that includes several different booklets, the narrative takes shape in a fascinating object that hides and reveals disturbing secrets.
