Hostilizado

Photography & performance
The greatest icon of Western religious culture has been chosen as the character for this contemporary piece. Raw and honest, this narrative can be shared throughout the world to foster bonds of identification – not with a hero, but rather with an issue. Social hostility ceases to be a distant concept , known but rarely owned. – permeating our air, our existence. The intimate, personal religious context coupled with the contrast of baroque shadows delivers an experience that propels us into reflection, internalisation, guilt and pity, towards compassion, identification and solidarity; irrespective of one’s beliefs.

Intro
Three chapters.
One journey.
One journey.
Hostilizado is a compelling visual narrative, depicting timeless suffering, dulling of the senses and existential pain. The three chapters invite you to journey sensorially and sentimentally, through confrontation, isolation and pain, toward redemption, inclusion and change.
Chapter 1 — The Arrival
Chapter 2 — The Journey
Chapter 3 — The Realisation

The project belongs to the streets. That was the starting point of the project, so that should be the starting point to think the exhibition. Three photographic chapters were given life through around 200 posters in iconic locations in Melbourne. The dirt and imperfections, even the vandalism, had a strong connection to the projects message. The marginalising was all there, from the images to the paper.
