Ahead of today’s opening of 'Juan Pablo Echeverri: Identidad Perdida' at jamesfuentesllc, Fuentes and WolfgangTillmans got on a call to unearth memories of their time spent with the artist and share their hopes for his art. ⛓️:
exhibit in both Berlin and New York that sheds light on their friend’s extensive volume of work using video and images. “
FUENTES: Definitely. It reminds me of the fact that when he was studying at a university in Colombia, he had a teacher that he really regarded highly who said, “Photography is really a way to enable one to capture a unique and personal image that belongs to no one else.” FUENTES: Right, right. I mean, what was remarkable about the videos for me was how incredibly site-specific they were and responsive to the location and the environment in a very nuanced way that maybe a photograph really couldn’t fully capture. Like a crowd, for instance. But I have to say, having celebrated theshow opening, it was astonishing to see how viscerally everyone responded to the video work.
FUENTES: A very vulnerable, exposed position, which also speaks to his outwardness and generosity as a human being. I would say that meeting him, it was this tsunami of a personality.FUENTES: Around 2015. We just had an instant connection. There are very few people in the kind of international art world that I’ve met that come from South America. I feel we had this instant rapport and connection because my family’s from Ecuador, he’s coming from Colombia.
