Extensions of the History of People
With two artists for whom esthetics and the meaning of fighting are connected. Marcos Avila Forero used the houses of Colombian farmers as photographic apparatus to symbolize their political fight for the reappropriation of their land. The houses witness the landscape. Frederic Lagny documents contemporary history of Burkina Faso, from Sankara’s revolution to the end of Comparoé’s dictatorship. She proposes a flamboyant collection of screenprints about monuments in Burkina Faso.
Marcos Avila Forero is born in 1983 inParis, lives and works in Bogota and Paris.
