Johanna Calle: Photo Graphias

Parting from old photographs, collected with the care given by an ethnographer, Johanna Calle makes what she calls photographic drawings . To the tiny, fast gesture that triggered the shot, she adds her own: little by little she erases the elements present in the original image in order to gently raise the signs of an underground story: a landscape allows a musical score to arise, a face gives place to a polyhedron, a series of aerial photographs show how the silhouette of the trees of the primary forest ascends. Johanna Calle (Bogota, 1965) is a a Colombian artist that works between the figurative and the abstract. Photo Graphias shows for the first time the photographic drawings of Johanna Calle in full scope.
