Subtitle: Popayán - Bogotá - Heidelberg
Blurb:
In "Tres casas", Mista (Felipe Mejía-Medina) brings together a selection of street and architectural photographs from Popayán, Bogotá, and Heidelberg. These cities are bound by biography: the place of birth and early years, where his roots remain—his parents, friends, and first sense of belonging; the capital where most of his adult life unfolds and where the initial clay of who he has become was shaped; and finally a German city to which the artist has returned frequently since 2009, and where his greatest love resides. The images work with what seems minimal—walls, windows, cables, shadows, night scenes, interiors—to build an experience of belonging. Rather than “representing” each city, the book attends to its signs and silences: how time, weather, speed, and distance transform the act of seeing. Tres casas is, at its core, a visual diary about inhabiting, returning, and recognizing a home in fragments.
