All his projects to date focus on territories that have been or are the scenes of tension, conflict and reflection. Bravo is centered on the more than 1,000 kilometers of the Río Bravo, which forms the border between Mexico and the United States, where the river changes its name to Rio Grande. The images place the viewer in a specific stretch of the Mexican side of the border, where people from Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala arrive, seeing the crossing as the last stage of a long and difficult journey. In this context, the river shapes everything, forming the identity and way of life of these people.
Bravo is conceived as a photographic essay in fifty-two images that explores this reality through a series of photographs of architecture, people and landscapes: fences, bodies and gaps. Almost empty interiors, walls and surfaces marked by textures and colors, as well as portraits of individuals with whom the artist has crossed paths during his travels in the region. In essence: a moving, sober and poetic visual essay on the idea of waiting and border identity.
Curator: Victoria del Val (Fundación MAPFRE).
