After studying a degree in Visual Arts in Buenos Aires, Felipe Romero (Bogota, Colombia, 1992) traveled to Jerusalem on a scholarship, where he developed photographic projects in the Middle East area. In 2016 he moved to Madrid to continue his training in photography.

In all the work he has done so far, Felipe Romero has been interested in territories that have been or are the scene of tension, conflict and visual reflection. In the Bravo project, he has focused on a river more than three thousand kilometers long, some 1,100 of which serve as a border between the U.S. and Mexico. In his photographs, Romero takes the viewer in a specific stretch of the Mexican zone, where the river and the flow of people that arrive to cross it condition everything, shaping the identity of its people and their way of life. People from Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala arrive there, for whom the crossing is the last stage of a long and difficult journey.

Bravo approaches this reality through a series of images of architecture, people and landscapes. Almost naked interiors, walls and surfaces in which the textures, colors and portraits of individuals that the artist has encountered on his travels to the area stand out. In short: a moving visual essay, sober and poetic, about the idea of waiting and border identity.

Curator: Victoria Del Val (Fundación MAPFRE)
