I am very excited to announced that I have been selected to present at the Open Show/StreetFoto Festival on June 8th.
OpenShow is a worldwide organization, which mission is to create a powerful feedback loop between the public, partner organizations and creators (photographers, filmmakers and multimedia producers).
They value “Great work”, “Engaging storytelling”, “Conversation to create community” and “Appreciation leads to support”
You can find more about OpenShow here.
I will present my work on “Consequences”, which got me selected as Top 50 fine art photographers by Critical Mass-PhotoLucida in 2016. The project addresses the current threats to natural and cultural diversity, sites where modernity, tradition, and wild lands collide. It is an elegy for what is vanishing and a celebration of those cultures on the fringe of modern society resilient enough to maintain their vibrance. As we drift toward a blandly amorphous, generic world, as cultures disappear and life becomes more uniform, we as a people and a species, and Earth itself, are deeply impoverished. The images take the viewer on a roller coaster ride of aesthetic of disappearance, with hope that the fading traditions are not permanent and irreversible.
Join me June 8 at 6PM at the Harvey Milk PhotoCenter, San Francisco.
