G0D IS A STALKER

Many songs from Rosalía’s album LUX sparked a variety of ideas in my mind. One in particular is the track “Dios Es Un Stalker,” which translates to “God Is a Stalker.” It’s a title that immediately captures attention, which is why I chose to give it strong visual importance in my poster.

Rosalía herself explained that the song is written from the perspective of God. Something she describes as a humorous and impossible exercise. The track blends humor, storytelling, and innovative production into a cohesive whole that feels both engaging and unusual.

With this project, I wanted to contribute my own interpretation by photographing the interaction between a character (myself) and a divine figure (represented by a human-shaped presence made of light). It’s as if this act of stalking is itself being stalked by someone else.

In the first image, I reference the most common, unfortunately normalized, form of stalking today: through the phone. Just a few clicks are enough to discover an overwhelming amount about someone’s life. The idea of God observing our actions is represented by a glowing presence behind our shoulders, a light we sense but never truly see. The kinky handcuff attached to the hand holding the phone symbolizes the bond we have willingly locked ourselves into: a need that has become normalized, yet remains something we keep private. Just like a kink: something many people have, many normalize internally, but rarely discuss openly. The handcuffs perfectly unite two ideas: attachment and shame.

As for the axe, in spiritual contexts, particularly within Biblical, Christian, and some Eastern traditions... it is a powerful and multifaceted symbol. It represents divine judgment, the necessity of repentance, the removal of obstacles, and the cutting away of spiritual ignorance or attachment.

In the second image, I wanted the character to feel watched and to attempt to see who is watching and yet remain unable to make eye contact with God. This is because the divine is not a presence we physically see, but one we feel. Instead, the character makes eye contact with the viewer, the third presence, the one who is also stalking. This creates a layered system of gazes: God watches us, we watch others, and the viewer watches everything.

I chose to include the final two verses of the song to conclude this two-image series. The concept for the shoot came to me while listening to those exact lines, so I wanted to give them visual importance by placing them prominently in the upper right corner.


The images shown after the music video are additional variations expanding on the same concept.
