Ciclos, 2006 fotografia color troquelada + video /photography color, perforated |
Cycles, were initially conceive based on the photography, where the perforated photo and the real scale, from a tree leaf using reforestation of Bogota, it will be put in the same ambulant commerce or informal neighborhood, to emulate the apparition and dynamic of the same nature, enjoying the mobility in all the neighborhood, of the ambulant commerce. A in some time, those photos, will be given as a gift to the transients who ask for it, or also, stolen by them, promoting even more, the before mentioned mobility to a home or to a person who wish to make charge of them. But the open and direct contact with the community, gave space for the observation of one of the series of dynamics of movements that were involved not only with their commercial or daily duties but also they were involved in the stories of their own lives. In that sense, I found people of different parts of the country, that had some experience in constant displacement around the national territory, describing a cycle, being:going and coming every certain time in their native places. It was now a natural cycle that involved the social aspects, economics, cultural, and all of the aspects that made the identity of the person. This made necessary the elaboration of a video; but more than the register that it was presented, this video was part of the integral part of the work, enjoying its temporal character, to mix all the concept of cycle, from a natural an also from a cultural cycle; and that still involve the documental skill to approach the social area of the actors; and its relation with the appropriation of a context, in this case, in the neighborhood Venecia of Bogota. |
