#Kanitlow, #LuviaLazo, A #PhotoSeries

"There is a word in #Zapotec that we use to name the fact of someone or something disappearing, when a close friend is not close anymore, when someone stops visiting as often as they do, when things transform and change or when someone is getting blind, that is KANITLOW which means 'Faces are getting lost ' or 'disappearing'"

Kanitlow

"Kanitlow, I am losing your face". Those were the words of Mexican Photographer Luvia Lazo's great grandfather, who was losing his eyesight ... Words that inspired her Photo Series. These photographs serve as a record of her community, the indigenous Zapotec People and their culture which fades with the passage of time

Invisible Jumpers

Photographer Joseph Ford and knitter Nina Dodd have for the last several years worked on their collaborative project called Invisible Jumpers, in which Dodd would knit a garment that blends in with a chosen environment and then Ford would photograph the wearer. The book was published in 2019 ... but the project continues adding animals, arists, musicians to the project. As Ford explains:

"The locations have to be eye-catching but simple enough to be able to be knitted. They also have to be places that aren’t going to change too fast, as the knitting takes a few weeks...

Once I’ve found the location, I photograph someone standing where I would like the model to be in the final picture. I draw over this scouting photograph and annotate the picture with different colors and patterns so Nina can plan how to knit. Often there are 10 or 12 different shades of yarn in a single picture, and up to 24 balls of wool at any one time for the more complicated designs. The choice of yarn has varied according to the background."
