YOSHUA OKÓN

MAVI, is a piece that consists in photographs that were extracted from the vast archives of over a million portraits of an old photographic studio located in the center of Lima, Peru which operated between 1968 and 2008. The piece assembles all 128 portraits in the archive with the same name, a common name that reveals  a certain migrating and rural presence in Lima. This group of mounted photographs, taken in a span of 40 years, reflects changes in fashion as well as the aging process of some individuals.
