A  Series of Socially Engaged Public Art Interventions

​

When the pandemic began to ease up a little, with faces covered, and social distancing still in effect, I thought it would be a really important time to project massive movie screen sized portraits, to bring us closer to one another again, to our human connection, to bring a sense of hope, pride, and humanity.

 

With most venues and all museums still being closed, this intervention was perhaps the only Fine Art Photography Exhibition in all of the Americas to happen during this time, reaching over 12,000 people on the street over the course of four weekends. 

​

​

A collaboration exhibition projecting over 120 works from renowned Guatemalan photographers amplified to the size of movie screens onto city walls where people walking on the street, bicycles, motorcycles, and passing cars view them live.

​

The collection of original fine art photographs range from an archive of the first work done in the country in the late 1900’s Noriega & Yaz from the Cirma Fototeca archive. Through the 70’s,80’s, 90,s Daniel Chauche and Michael Plyler to 2020 with Jorge Cuyun, and  Gg.  Also within the contemporary photographers’ collection are works that have been done using modern but also historic techniques such as silver wet plate by Jorge Luis Chavarria and pinhole photography method by Manuel Morillo.
