Ordonez Ordonez, On Trial
Published by acb press 2022
Design + Curatorial direction by Rohan Hutchinson
Edition of 200
Although
only residing in the USA for a short period, Toronto-based Chilean Photographer
Cristian Ordóñez has spent a large-period of the previous decade revisiting the
lower states creating works that explore the notion of memory, personal
relationship, and encounters with the territory.
On Trial
observes and plays witness to these encounters, a body of work that presents
the social, economic, and geographic survey of the landscape traveled by
Ordóñez. A survey, engaging with all things natural and foreign on even ground,
seeking to question not only the observer but the role of the object within the
frame.
On Trial
contains a selection of 20 photographs edited by Rohan Hutchinson, and
accompanied with text by Ordóñez. Designed to co-exist with previous and
forthcoming published works, the body and cover of the publication exist in the
same form, contextualising the in-transit approach of the photographic content,
along with the journey of its publishing.
