January 11 - February 28, 2021
From The Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston:
“An exhibition by the Argentine Photographer Cynthia Isakson, consisting of between 20 and 25 portraits and an audio installation.
“When I open my eyes, I photograph them; when I close my eyes, I listen to them. For 25 years I looked at them, portrayed them, captured them, in order to keep them forever. Emigrating and maintaining close relationships seemed to be two incompatible concepts. But they turned out not to be. I see them on my walls and listen to their recorded voices, our conversations. And suddenly the language, what they say, no longer matters. It doesn’t matter if they look at me. It doesn’t matter if they are no longer here. It’s about that feeling that you get when you close your eyes and you don’t see them anymore, you feel them…”
