Pierre Gonnord "Relatos"
Hasted Kraeutler
This event has ended.
Pierre Gonnord is widely celebrated for his portraits of marginal individuals, including Gypsies, punks and immigrants, as well as for his remarkable landscapes. His photographs speak to a long tradition of portraiture and representation in the history of art. The title of the exhibition, Relatos, was chosen by the artist and means "narrations", "accounts" and "stories" in Spanish.
"I choose my contemporaries in the anonymity of the big cities because their faces, under the skin, narrate unique, remarkable stories about our era. Sometimes hostile, almost always fragile and very often wounded behind the opacity of their masks, they represent specific social realities and, sometimes, another concept of beauty.... Every day, in the photographic ritual, I am building, little by little, my self-portrait." - Pierre Gonnord
