Living in the (now)stalgia (Photo – collage)
Ser inmigrante es vivir en varios sitios a la vez, es vivir el presente añorando el pasado, pasado que ya no existe, no solo por ser pasado, sino por una realidad geopolitica, que hace que todo cambie. Living in the (now)stalgia es un intento de (re)encontarme en textos de libros del pasado sobre Venezuela, acompañado de imagenes representativas en el camino de la migración.
Being an immigrant is living in several places at the same time, it is living in the now, but with the nostalgia for the past, a past that no longer exists, not only because it is the past, but because of a geopolitical reality, which makes everything change. Living in the (now)stalgia is an attempt to (re)discover my identity in texts of books from the past about Venezuela, accompanied by representative images on the path of migration.
