fototazo has asked a group of 50 curators, gallery owners, blog writers, photographers, academics and others actively engaged with Latin American photography to pick two early career photographers whose work deserves recognition.
This project aims to highlight great work being made in the region today and also to provide a starting point in both English and Spanish for exploring contemporary Latin American photography. LatAm f100 is a collaboration between fototazo and the photographer and educator
Jaime Permuth.
Today we continue the series with selections by
Don Gregorio Anton. His biography follows his selections.
The series also includes responses from
Molly Roberts,
Mariela Sancari,
Alonso Castillo,
Paccarik Orue,
Katrin Eismann and
Dina Mitrani.

The imagery is rooted in the firm soil of memory and the complexities of communion. For this she embraces a knowing intelligence of the delicate, of things both felt and seen, of a longing that time often erases.
Las imágenes están arraigadas en el firme suelo de la memoria y en las complejidades de la comunión. Para esto ella adopta una inteligencia consciente de lo delicado, de cosas sentidas y vistas, de un anhelo que el tiempo a menudo borra.

There is a privacy of process, form and meaning in what defines these visual accounts of lives lived. It is a forceful contact of the emotional impact, as felt as it is defined, by a life that strains for answers.
Hay una privacidad de proceso, forma y significado en lo que define estos relatos visuales de vidas vividas. Es un contacto contundente del impacto emocional tanto sentido como definido por una vida que exige respuestas.
