fototazo Mexico Workshops 2017

In Bogotá, getting ready to board a Wingo flight to Mexico. Yes, Wingo is an airline.

I recently travelled to Mexico with ten former fototazo microgrant recipients who have come together as a collective to support their continued education and development. The group consists of Alba Bran, Andrés Sánchez, Angélica María Restrepo, Aura Lambertinez, Eric Robledo, Edwin Ochoa Vélez, Juliana Henao Alcaraz, Margarita Valdivieso, Mónica Lorenza Taborda and Natalia Lopera.

Our trip from November 20th through December 7th included intensive workshops in Mexico City at Centro de la Imagen with Valentina Abenavoli, Patricia Lagarde and Yvonne Vanegas in an event entitled Folio 001. Our time in Mexico City also included additional workshops outside the event with Larissa Leclair and Mariela Sancari.

We next stopped in Oaxaca for visits to Acervo de Toledo, Centro de las Artes San Agustín, Centro Fotográfico Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Instituto de Artes Gráficas de Oaxaca as well as for the chance to sit down with Eva Lépiz.

Donors contributed $4,366.56 towards this experience under the banner of Microgrant 21.

Night out in Mexico City at a pretty fantastic cantina. Note the meat with a knife stuck in it, center of table. That was the presentation.

With Eva Lépiz. At some point in these photos I fear you'll realize I didn't bring enough t-shirts and am too cheap to hire out laundry.

Getting the guided tour of Centro de las Artes San Agustín with Javier León Cuevas. Applications to the residency program there from
Colombia sure to spike by 1000% next year.

I discovered a solution to my perennial t-shirt problem to be no shirt at all. At Hierve el Agua outside Oaxaca.

It was a hell of a ride. Eternal thanks to these special ten.

Mono Colectivo US Trip 2015: Edwin Ochoa and Andrés Sánchez Muñoz

To awake from our extended summer break, we're starting off by featuring a selection of portfolios made by the nine fototazo microgrant recipients during their 10-day workshop at the University of Iowa in late June and early July.

Their portfolios will be featured over the next several days with a short text on the work in the original Spanish with an English translation presented after the images. Today we feature the work of Edwin Ochoa and Andrés Sánchez Muñoz.

This week we have featured the work of Margarita Valdivieso and Juliana Henao Alcaraz and also of Aura Lambertinez and Natalia Lopera.

Extraños / Strangers (Iowa City)
Edwin Ochoa

In June 2015 I traveled to Iowa City. The first goal when I started this project was to understand the dynamics of the people there, the places they inhabit and how they affect each other.

This project is about a place unknown to me. The strategy I used to start to to get to know it was to approach people I met on the streets, strangers who for some reason called my attention and to form a momentary, but honest bond with them.

En junio de 2015 realice un viaje a la ciudad de Iowa, el primer objetivo cuando empecé el proyecto era entender las dinámicas de las personas, los lugares que habitan y como se afecta el uno al otro.

Este proyecto es sobre un lugar desconocido para mí, la estrategia que utilice para empezar conocerlo fue acercarme a las personas que encontraba en las calles, a esos completos extraños que por alguna razón llamaban mi atención y entablar con ellos un vínculo momentáneo pero honesto.

This work began as an exploration of American architecture, which differs greatly from ours in Latin America. Gradually, however, it began to take on a somewhat melancholy character, and became a portrait of an alienated, desolate or perhaps a self-absorbed American society in which small worlds are created with few inhabitants.

The project, however, may eventually take on another character, another perspective by exploring lighting and also new locations.

Este trabajo comenzó como una exploración sobre la arquitectura americana, que tanto difiere a la nuestra en Latinoamérica. Pero paulatinamente fue tomando un carácter un poco más melancólico y se transformó en un retrato de una sociedad Estadounidense alienada, desolada o quizá ensimismada en donde se crean pequeños mundos con muy pocos habitantes.

Pero el proyecto puede ir tomando otro carácter, otra perspectiva mediante de la exploración de luces y ahora nuevas locaciones.
