I’m an Argentinian Journalist. I used to work as a producer filming commercials and TV Shows in a major TV network in Buenos Aires. Then, six years ago, I was hospitalized for a complicated intestinal infection that doctors told his family and his friends that would keep him from surfing ever again. After a long recovery, I did what I’d been dreaming of: I packed my bags, grabbed my last few bucks, and started to hunt down big waves. Since then, I’ve been documenting my journey in places like Tahiti, Mexico, Chile and Hawaii.
“You can’t go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man’s dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing’s sake, back home to aestheticism, to one’s youthful idea of ‘the artist’ and the all-sufficiency of ‘art’ and ‘beauty’ and ‘love,’ back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermude, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time–back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.”
