Homeland sets in motion a process in which an image is divided into a thousand fragments and later reunited in the form of a film that seeks to recompose the lost relationship between all the parts. The insistent fragmentation tests the limits of the image. The original disappears in the thousand fragments that spread throughout the Oval Room and reappears in the form of a film projected in this separate room. All images form a mechanism in which process and narrative are intertwined.

Homeland is a work that examines the various aspects of a photograph, combining process, mechanism and narrative.

The work also establishes a dialogue with Gothic altarpiece painting, understood as a narrative artifact that can be seen from a contemporary perspective.
