Dialogue allows us to discover what makes us similar, but also what set us
apart. It is the supreme challenge of our capacity to accept, where tension
and contradictions, agreements and differences are resolved in a double gaze,
in a common quest,” begins writer Sandra Lorenzano in her introduction
to Photographic Correspondences, which presents a volley of images e-mailed
between Buenos Aires-based Marcelo Brodsky and Mexico city-based Pablo
Ortíz Monasterio. Troughout the project, each photographer responded to the
other’s last image, poetically, playfully and intuitively combining the chance
of a ready-made with the complexity of photographic memory. This volume’s
bold design reflects the artists’ process: the spreads include one image by each
artist, with the last image from the previous page repeated on the first page
of the next spread. Seeing each image twice creates an uncanny and suggestive
vibe, replicating the instantaneous method in which the photographers
worked and causing the viewer to draw unconscious connections.
