2011 Familiar Strangers
On occasion of Islington Exhibits, I decided to work with artist and illustrator Monica Naranjo, to produce a set of images that could be installed on public spaces. I saw Monica’s work at the Royal College of Art during 2010, and wanted to work with her on a special commission ever since.
2011 The American Continent (idea)
This is the original idea I presented for FOLi in Lima, Perú. I want to curate a photography show about an expedition through the American continent, using all the available resources on the internet. It is both an expedition of a physical space, and an adventure into the world of social networks and the web 2.0
