Memories of Development (MOD) will investigate the psychological and cultural legacy of Latin America’s "third world" status through performance, video and photography using my childhood memories of growing up in Guayaquil, Ecuador as an entry point. Referencing Tomas Alea's Cuban film, Memories of Underdevelopment (1968), my project will explore the proposition that underdevelopment describes a state of mind as much as an economic condition. While Alea investigates the mind-set of underdevelopment that lingers in the unconscious as Cuba addresses economic neo-colonialism through its post-revolutionary restructuring, my MOD will revisit the idea of the “developing nation” generating an inescapable repository of images in émigrés long after leaving home. Publications  Backyards has been published in Photographic Quarterly’s Spring 2008 issue, Imaging War. http://www.cpw.org/PQ/PQ_MAIN/pq_a.html An excerpt from Ariel Shanberg’s essay: The photographers featured in this issue of Pq reflect a range of conatact with and perspectives of our war in Iraq. Benjamin Busch and Farah Nosh present images from Iraq itself. Each with their own unique prospective bring our attention to life in Iraq. Suzanne Opton’s portraits of soldiers evoke the tremendous level of sacrificethese men and women continue to make. Jean Christian Boucart and Karina Aguilera Skvirsky each appropriate images made in Iraq and reinterpret them on U.S. soil. Spurred by the current war and the Bush administrations Martha Rosler revisits visual strategies she established in response to the Vietnam War. Together these image-makers seek to stir emotion, elicit a response and instill change. They do this through strategies and visual approaches that defy the standard ubiquitous delivery systems, which we have grown desensitized to. |
