Exhibition catalogue

This commission was the second part of the Syllables design collaboration with contemporary artist Omar Barquet. After developing the exhibition's visual language, I photographed the exhibition and artworks to later design the catalogue.

The book was printed and published on September (2016), and is currently available for purchase with the gallery and the artist.

About the exhibition:

Syllables was an interdisciplinary show by contemporary artist Omar Barquet, inspired on the 5th melisma for Gunther Gerzso written by Mexican poet Francisco Hernández; and integrated as the 6th movement of his Ghost Variations project.

Ghost Variations is an interdisciplinary proposal launched in 2012, composed of a sequence of six projects organized similarly to the movements of a symphony, and as a series of six experimental collaborations understood as fugues.

Together they pose an analogy to the disctint evolutionary phases of a hurricane, emulating its intensity and movements, like the sketch of a spiral shape, mainly reflecting on the perception of time and life through the transformation cycles of a landscape and the chaotic nature of our thoughts, depicting a pulse wich changes in intensity, and thus, the estate of things.
