Black Messengers | 2013 – Present
Black Messengers takes its title from Los Heraldos Negros, a collection of poems by early twentieth-century Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo. Vallejo’s poetic attention is directed inward, to the conflicts and deep wounds that characterize the modern psyche; as a photographer I turn my own lens outward, at the wounds and conflicts that characterize the modernity of the Americas. Over the last several years now I have traveled between the American West and my native Peru documenting indigenous ruins and archeological sites. I use my camera to meditate on these traces in the landscape that make visible the patterns of inhabitation, loss and erasure.
Description: Currently a collection of 50 photographs shot on 35mm film and printed as a portfolio of small Silver Gelatin Prints. Below are 15 photographs from the collection. I will not be scanning anymore of these. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a portfolio viewing. The portfolio is a simple clamshell as pictured below with a 2.75''x 3'' image on 8''x10'' warmtone fiber paper. The project has never been exhibited or published, and only exists as silver prints.
