Miguel Angel Rojas |
Sample Text/Essay: (from FOTOFEST2006 Catalogue)
|
|
Miguel Angel Rojas is one of the handful of Colombian
artists who use the processes, semantics, and Pragmatics of the
medium of photography to expose unexpected layers of reality. These
layers involve not only Rojas’s sexual preferences and interests, but
also the sociopolitical circumstances of his life. An early series of
photographs from the Faenza cinemas in Bogotá (2001), also using coca-leaf
dots, takes off from Roy Lichtenstein’s As I opened fire (1964) except
the cartoon strips captions Lichtenstein included in his triptych have been
changed to the single phrase “Addiction Storm.” Rojas appropriated a jaguar
from Colombian truck iconography, which he rendered with confetti dots of U.S.
dollars, in a work titled It’s Better ot be Rich Than Poor (2001). “I tried
to address the theme of drug-trafficking from several angles: the presence
of empire, the acculturation caused by the immorality and corruption that
are the direct consequence of easy money,” says Rojas. (1)
