Nunca será más joven que este día

the long version

The exhibition is presented chronologically, setting jumps in time that show repeated interest, despite the profound metamorphosis established between each party and the methodologies employed in them. The six projects are accompanied by videos, documentation and parallel information, sample work processes of the photographer; are projects spanning several years of work and contrasted contextual scenery as well as a number of social events surrounding the sitters, with Venegas own photographs. For fifteen years, Yvonne Venegas has developed a body of work that connects with documentary photography through the portrait . In the six projects presented in the temporary room on the third floor of the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil (Retratos desde Tijuana, El tiempo que pasamos juntas, Las novias más hermosas de Baja California, Inedito, María Elvia de Hank y Gestus), the photographer poses, in different themes, the use of portraiture as a formal tool to discover the many facets of the characters he portrays, from anonymous to known celebrities.
