🖼️ The exhibition

The darkness runs from the gloom of Bogotá's cinemas, where he photographed encounters between strangers, to the black of the charcoal he uses to draw eroded lands that denounce the ruin of the Amazon.

His pioneering darkroom experiments draw on his Indigenous-mestizo origins and his homosexuality. The exhibition moves from his latest works back to his roots, in a search for racial and sexual identity.
