To awake from our extended summer break, we're starting off by featuring a selection of portfolios made by the nine
fototazo microgrant recipients during their 10-day workshop at the University of Iowa in late June and early July.
Their portfolios will be featured over the next several days with a short text on the work in the original Spanish with an English translation presented after the images. Today we feature the work of
Angélica María Restrepo and
Alba Bran.
This week we have featured the work of
Margarita Valdivieso and Juliana Henao Alcaraz,
Aura Lambertinez and Natalia Lopera and
Edwin Ochoa and Andrés Sánchez Muñoz.

Andy en los estados unidos
Angélica María Restrepo
Traveling, being in an unfamiliar place, amplifies our attention to the perceptions that surround us. This project grew out of a particular interest based in being outside Colombia: capturing the essence of someone I know a bit in an area outside our usual surroundings before heading to Iowa. The interaction between this person and me and the environment enabled the creation of a friendship-based project in the United States.
Viajar, estar en un lugar desconocido, amplia la visión de las percepciones que nos rodean, este proyecto surgió de un interés particular al estar por fuera de Colombia, capturar la esencia de alguien un poco conocido en un territorio fuera de las costumbres habituales que nos rodeaban antes de ir al estado de Iowa USA; la interacción entre esa persona, yo y el entorno posibilito la creación de una amistad-proyecto dentro de los Estados Unidos....

Espacios ilusorios

Being in a new place can be intimidating, but can also give us the freedom to find new ways of interacting with space. During the time I was in Iowa City I found different ways of looking at space in a game in which the line that demarcates the real and the imaginary seems to dissolve.
