Chaque Mercredi Caracas

2020, book

The book presents a sequence of images taken from the travel sections of the newspapers Le Monde and The New York Times, from the 1960s onwards. Focusing on representations of the "Other" in reportages and ads, the images explore the relation between colonialism and the evolution of mass tourism in the second half of the 20th century: A world that is within reach and ready for consumption. As an insert to the book, "Our Letters Crossed" responds to the images from today‘s perspective. In a collection of letters by friends in different parts of the world, each one addresses its sender’s experience of an unprecedented year, during wich we stopped traveling, at least physically. 2020 is an island that didn’t exist. Collaboration with Gregor Huber and Xavier Nueno.
