Shrouds
2011
Black and white portraits of women who are victims of armed conflict in Antioquia, Colombia, taken as they describe the dramatic experiences of the murders of their loved ones, which they have had to witness and survive. The photographs were taken at the climax of the account, hence freezing in time an instant of deep sadness, which the artist sets on a fine silk canvas, recalling the Christian reliquary – The Shroud: the agony of Christ, the Passion and the Piety. It is because of this that throughout multiple instances, this work has been exhibited in the context of sacred sites, thus generating a dialogue between sacred architecture, the space for prayer, and the image of the artist. The dialogue process with the victims during the photo shoots and ulterior exhibit additionally become a progressive healing amid the victims’ grief.
