Farhana in Fotografía 2.0

Farhana will be part of a group exhibition curated by Joan Fortcuberta from 4th June to 31st August in Círculo de Bellas Artes, Madrid, during the official program of Photoespaña festival.

"Photography 2.0 explores the changes taking place in Spanish photography in the context of mass image production, globalization and post-capitalism. Joan Fontcuberta surveys the work of around twenty photographers born after 1970 who share a critical view of the new situation. The earliest photographers grew up in the visual culture of painting; later generations took cinema—and then TV—as their visual reference. Now Internet has burst onto the scene as a universe that shapes contemporary perspectives. A universe characterised by an endless flow of images.
This mass production of photographs may be regarded as an effect of post-capitalism and globalization, prompted by a succession of technological and cultural innovations. The new context has rewritten the rules of the image game. The values of “solid” photography underpinned by the techno-scientific culture and the industrial economy of the nineteenth century have been replaced by those of “liquid” photography, based on the virtual culture and information economies of the twenty-first century. Photography 2.0 focuses on these changes through an examination of the situation in Spain, where a whole new wave of young photographers are currently engaged in a critical appraisal of the new situation. 
The exhibition comprises three sections. The first addresses the banalisation of the photographic act, the cortex of reality shows, unbridled voyeurism and loss of privacy. The second session looks at formulations of social identity, biographical narratives and personal fictions, in the light of new digital tools. The final section explores the “technological unconscious” of post-photography, the accidents and fissures that are artistically recycled to provide an innovative aesthetic vocabulary."

EFE24

Two images of the El Alto series are being part of the last issue of EFE24 magazine entirely dedicated this time to portraiture. 

Untill 2006 ID cards and birth certificates in Bolivia were a rare commodity that only privileged individuals living close to an issuing facility could afford to have. When I was granted permission to access the ID facility in this police archive in El Alto I was very interested in showing how women, men and children were able to control their own representation in front of the police officer in charge of taking these pictures.
