OverviewOn 20 February 1980, Jaime Tovar was abducted by the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) and forced to wander for months through the tropical rainforest of the Colombian Amazonia. His son Luis Carlos, the author of this book, was just a few months old at the time.The guerilla fighters sent a Polaroid snapshot of their captive to his family as a proof that he was still alive.This project starts from the search for that uncertain photograph, but it reflects a process of rediscovery that transcends the event in itself. It is a poetic exercise that speaks of our finitude and contingent nature, that explores the legacy of the past as our only mode of survival.The absence of this fetish photograph activates a performative visual essay that has recourse to the mechanisms of appropriation and collage in order to remove autobiographical and documentary photography from their conventional frameworks. 109 images Full Product DetailsAuthor: Luis Carlos Tovar , Luis Carlos Tovar , Lydia Dorner , Joan FontcubertaPublisher: RM Verlag SL Imprint: RM Verlag SL ISBN: 9788417975388ISBN 10: 8417975381 Pages: 240 Publication Date: 08 September 2020 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
