by Velazquez, Lorena
Condesa, Mexico: Lorena Velazquez, 2021. Limited Edition. Fine in Fine Archival Box. Limited Edition. "With the lockdown, we had to shut ourselves away. This is when I decided to observe the building opposite. I chose to invert the images as negatives, in order to respect the identity of my neighbors, which offers a completely different interpretation when reading the images.
Â
The city of Paris appears lifeless. Our expectations are filled with fear. Fear to face the unknown. Enclosed spaces no longer make sense. Knowing the other becomes valuable.
Â
We asked ourselves many existential questions during this time of great fragility. We lived through a bizarre time, with so much solitude, nothingness and despair when faced with the number of deaths around the world.
In this context, scientific advances take on an unusual scale and acquire great importance in the fight to overcome the darkness." [artist statement]. Bright and unmarred.
