PERIPHERY
Periphery was originally conceived during an artist residency program, an exchange between Mexican and Canadian writers and photographers, which initially transpired in Mérida, Yucatán, México and then continued at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada. The work that resulted from this experience is presented in two parts, one is a photo project that relates to the experience of displacement and is mostly informed by natural disasters: Hurricane Isidore, which hit the Yucatán peninsula in 2002, immediately before the first part of the residency began, and the fires that spread across the forests of southern British Columbia and Alberta immediately before the start of the second part of the program in the fall of 2003.
The photo project led to a collaboration with Canadian writer José Teodoro, which resulted into an accordion book entitled Cathedral (15cm x 3m), which was published in Mexico in 2005 with the support of FONCA-CONACULTA.
