‘Bravo’, by Felipe Romero

Back

Photography. A visual essay, stark and poetic, on the themes of waiting and border identity.

Bravo, by Colombia’s Felipe Romero (1992), is the winning project in the second edition of the KBr Photo Award.

This project focuses on the more than 1,000 kilometres of the Río Bravo that form the border between the United States and Mexico. His images place us in a specific section on the Mexican side, where people arrive from Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, reaching the final stage of a long and arduous journey. In this setting, the river dictates everything, ultimately shaping the identity and way of life of these people.

Bravo is conceived as a photographic essay composed of fifty-two images that explore this reality through a series of photographs of architecture, people and landscapes: closures, bodies and breaches. Almost bare interiors, walls and surfaces where textures, colours and portraits of individuals the artist has encountered during his travels to the region stand out.
