Pinhole photography
Laser-cut chipboard, silicone, and photosensitive paper
Teusaquillo, Bogotá
Reminiscencias explores the origins of photography through the pinhole camera, revisiting a process that invites patience and reclaims the value of craftsmanship as a means of engaging with memory.
Through the manual construction of the camera, the prolonged exposure times, and the film development, the photographic process moves away from the immediacy of image-making and becomes an exercise in reminiscence.
The piece portrays Ricardo Fúquene, who worked as a loom mechanic for 30 years and, after retiring, found a renewed passion for photography. His story creates a dialogue between two practices shaped by manual craft, patience, and the passage of time.
