About ‘Insidia’ – words by Juan Brenner:
This new series is a very personal project, a collection of images shot at night in Guatemala City, an attempt to control my urges and keep the demons at rest, these surreal scenes represent memories, rituals and nightmares lived while my life was completely out of control.
