About this artwork
Chile. January 2019.
During my trip to Chile, my mother's homeland, I stayed in my aunt's apartment in Concón. It's a seaside town where tall buildings are constantly springing up to admire the Pacific Ocean. It's the beginning of summer. The sky is blue, the sun blazing.
From the balcony, I witness this scene. A child is riding her bike, then falls. By the time I get my film camera out, she's already in the arms of what appears to be her grandmother.… A maternal, protective figure. She seems to be comforting her as much as shielding her from the blazing sun, or even from the wild drop below the esplanade.
"Sunburn" is a small burn under the summer sky. A wound quickly forgotten.

Modeni
France
Modeni, a photographer and sculptor with a background in cinema, explores the image through analog photography, drawing, modeling, and wall sculpture. His graphic style combines balance, inner movement, and a tension between gentleness and intensity: light, color, and grain breathe life into his works. He aims to reveal the essence of humanity, of life itself, bringing everyone back to a raw and universal sensation, a sincere, instinctive, and deeply shared emotion.
