LatAm f100: Lucía Morón and María Gutiérrez

© María Gutiérrez

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 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 Charlotte Schmitz. Her biography follows her selections as well as a list of previous contributors to the series.

When I chose María Gutiérrez and Lucía Morón, I didn't know that these two young woman are based in the same city, Buenos Aires. I met both at Lake Atitlán in Guatemala during 20 Fotógraf@s, where they became friends. We were a big group of photographers living and sharing everything together for ten days, something which seems so far away now, only a few months later. Sturm und Drang, and suddenly the world stops. I only recently discovered more of the beauty and intimacy of their works, through @wpthejournal which is a collective photo project of 400+ women worldwide, and María and Lucía are documenting their private spaces during the current pandemic as well as the other women taking part in the project. And I am happy to see their Sturm and their Drang in their photographs, despite the difficult times. Their images are strong and intimate, their minds creative, and most importantly, they belong to an inspiring generation of young women photographers from South America, who I  see with excitement are challenging societies and taking their place.

Cuando elegí a María Gutiérrez y Lucía Morón, no sabía que estas dos jóvenes estaban en la misma ciudad, Buenos Aires. Conocí a ambas  en el Lago de Atitlán en Guatemala durante 20 Fotógraf@s, donde se hicieron amigas. Éramos un grupo grande de fotógrafos viviendo  y compartiendo  todo  durante 10 días, algo que ahora parece muy lejano, tan sólo unos meses después. Sturm und Drang, y de repente el mundo se detiene. Recientemente descubrí más de la belleza y la intimidad de sus obras, a través de @wpthejournal,  un proyecto fotográfico colectivo de más de 400 mujeres en todo el mundo, donde María y Lucía documentan sus espacios privados durante la pandemia actual, al igual que las otras mujeres que participan en el proyecto. Y estoy feliz de ver su Sturm y su Drang en sus fotografías, a pesar de los tiempos difíciles. Sus imágenes son fuertes e íntimas, sus mentes son creativas y, lo que es más importante, ambas pertenecen a una generación inspiradora de jóvenes fotógrafas de Latinoamérica , a quienes veo con entusiasmo, desafiando sociedades y reclamando su lugar.

Charlotte Schmitz' approach to her photography is deliberately personal and often subverts the traditional documentary approach, which allows her to convey her messages about women and migration. She grew up in the Danish minority in Germany and studied documentary photography in Hanover. Charlotte's work has been published in The Washington Post and der Spiegel, among other international media outlets. The British Journal of Photography selected her as one of the "Ones To Watch 2019" and she is the first recipient of the "FotoEvidence W Award" with her work La Puente. She speaks six languages and is currently based in Berlin where she cofounded Friendzone.Studion to develop creative communication for projects that matter.

Lucía Peluffo is a young Argentine photographer with the work of an old and wise artist. Her way of undertaking projects with honesty, simplicity and a lack of artifice makes one feel that between the author and her work there is a coherent and complete structure as well as an uncommon vitality.

Lucía does not make her work for others, does not call attention to herself, does not compete, does not excuse herself. Her core theme is intimacy; maybe that's why she chooses the book as a channel and as a medium, because she knows that reading is a kind of dislocated dialogue that operates between the reader and the author and that in her way of using it only the closest distance is possible, the one we reserve for family, lovers and friends.

Lucía Peluffo es una joven fotógrafa argentina con hechuras de autora vieja y sabia.
Su forma de acometer los proyectos desde la honestidad, la sencillez y la falta de artificio provoca en uno la sensación de que entre la autora y su obra existe una coherencia e integridad estructural y vital poco comunes. 


Lucía no produce para otros, no figura, no compite, no se excusa. Su tema vertebral es la intimidad; tal vez por eso elige el libro como canal y medio, porque sabe que la lectura es una suerte de diálogo dislocado que opera entre el lector y la autora y que en su ejercicio sólo cabe la distancia más próxima, aquella que reservamos para familia, amantes y amigos.

Diego Moreno lives exposed, with his ribs open to the sun, offering himself as a sacrifice to continuous love. His work takes the form of woven altarpieces, symbolic representations of a family memory from the female perspective that carries pain, but also the possibility of life, of resistance, of freedom. There is a lot of purgation in his work, a natural purification without crime or guilt, that just releases sorrow.

Diego Moreno vive expuesto, abierto al sol por las costillas, ofreciéndose en un sacrificio de amor continúo. Su obra toma forma de retablos hilados, representaciones simbólicas de una memoria familiar en femenino que porta consigo el dolor pero también la posibilidad de la vida, de la resistencia, de la libertad. Hay mucho de purgación en su obra, una purgación natural sin delito ni culpa, sólo un evacuar de la pena.

I admire the clarity of vision and purpose in Paccarik Orue's series "El Muqui," shot in his native Peru. The town in which he's working has an open pit mine in the middle. What else do you have to say?

Admiro la claridad de visión y propósito en la serie de Paccarik Orue "El Muqui", hecha en su Perú natal. La ciudad en la que trabaja tiene una mina a cielo abierto en el medio. ¿Qué más tienes que decir?

I met Luján Agusti at the New York Times portfolio review this April, and was immediately smitten with her fantastic photographs, shot in Southern Mexico. They're festive and creepy at the same time. Totally brilliant.
