My recent work deals mostly with the city of Bogotá: its bridges seen as great sculptures and thoroughfares; the palimpsests created in Universidad Nacional through the interaction between students who graffiti whitewashed walls of the buildings and the workmen tasked with painting over their statements in grey – a process started afresh each semester with the arrival of new students; the artisanal brick ovens where displaced peasants manufacture the bricks used to erect the city; coal mines and coke ovens on the outskirts of the city. I have also been working with alternative, antique photographic processes alongside videos for my ‘Internal Gardens’ series.
