Ramón Serrano at the Rencontres d’Arles

Ramón Serrano. #1, Serie Habana Mirage, 2003. 127 x 250 cm. Cuba














We are delighted to see the work of Ramón Serrano showing at the Rencontres d’Arles, one of the world’s leading international photography festivals. Every summer since 1970, the Rencontres d’Arles presents 60 different exhibitions in 20 heritage sites in Arles, South of France.

The Jan Mulder photography collection from Lima, Peru focuses on the work of outstanding contemporary Latin American photographers. The exhibition, curated by Jorge Villacorta, embraces art deriving from recent uses of documentary-style, as well as enigmatic portraiture, and the allegorical nature of image-archive constructions.

From the series Habana Mirage, Serrano folds and manipulates photo-based images that cleverly blend together political history and architecture with personal memories and public associations. #1, Serie Habana Mirage was acquired from the Corkin Gallery.
