Tales of the Venezuelan Dystopia

Well Venezuela...!

We're talking about something big here; into the eye of the tornado, the tiger of the media, the exodus phenomenon. The world put his eyes into the tiny piece of land with it's treasures, misfortunes, bizarreness and beauty, and you might wonder...how really is Venezuela? how does it looks? how do people live in there? Streets, nightlife, youth, architecture,
fragments of the tropical madness would be my answers; and what a better media than image, photography, frames of the very heart of the city, the people, the places, the colors, the living.

Welcome to Tales of The Venezuelan Distopia, by a nearly 28 years old DJ, visual creator, from Maracaibo City, located in Zulia State, land of oil, hot weather, fast food and broken treasures from bonanza. I'm sure you all are pretty used to hear news or something crazy bout my country! I'm here to share stories, facts, culture, crazy moments, emblematic places, some unknown realities, some holy relics of what we are and how we manage to dream and keep going.

For me, arts had been an essential channel for personal and professional development the past years; i decided working and connecting with people through djing, music production, photography, animation, illustration and visual arts. These also had been a way of expression and catharsis in a pretty hard, dark, disrrupted and bizarre context, in the middle of the political tension, the economic crisis, the humanitary collapse, where i had been whilling to show a human and living eye, voice through music and image.

I´ll be sharing some views from this side of the world through Tales Of Venezuelan Dystopia Series in a pretty dinamic crossover between photography and narrative text. All the photos by me using the analog format, 35 mm through a great variety of cameras. The reason? First, it's unique beauty, colors and grain. Second, walking around where i live it's way too dangerous to carry an expensive or any kind of digital camera, so i work with plastic cheap cameras mainly, so i can show you pieces of my world without being harmed (Yes! doing this in my country it's madness, but that makes it even more awesome and beautiful). One post weekly, maybe two, that's up to you guys jaja ;) i really love it.

See you around a next time!
