For this series, I photographed Israeli sound artists in their home environments. Layering their portraits over separate landscapes allowed me to place them in connection to or disconnection from the region. I shot them outside of their studios, stripped from their work spaces and comfort zones. The goal was to observe them in solitude and force their gazes inward.

Artists photographed: Meira Asher, Haggai Fershtman, David Oppenheim / David Opp, Eran Sachs / ZA.

This photo series was published first in the second Norient book Seismographic Sounds.

Photo Series «Fragementary Presence» by Katyussa Veiga

Fragmentary Presence

Photo Series

by Katyussa Veiga

The photos of Katyussa Veiga on the Bolivian underground punk band Gato Diablo represent the band's constant search for new places. It is a fragmentary, urban spirit, deeply rooted in tradition that speaks out to us here. A photo series by Katyussa Veiga from the Norient book and exposition Seismographic Sounds (see and order here).

The Devil as a carnival character is an important part of the Andean imaginary. The contemporary Diablada dance – performed in the carnival – is a mix of both Spanish and Aymara traditions. I take advantage of this strong (and clichéd) symbol in order to point out the paradox of contemporary La Paz, where strong indigenous traditions live hand-in-hand with modernity. Spending time with Gato Diablo made me understand that their music is a constant search for new places and belongs to a complex urban rhizome. The disintegrated mask throughout the series represents this (un)comfortable platform in eternal movement: a space in which we are deconstructing, reconstructing, and waving resiliently our identities and senses of belonging.

This photo series is part of the Norient exhibition Seismographic Sounds and was published first in the correspondent Norient book.

Biography

Katyussa Veiga was born in the middle of Brazil. She graduated with a degree in International Relations and started working with analogue techniques and photography in 2011. Currently, Katyussa lives and works in the Andean side of Bolivia.

Solitude is a very important thing for us Finns. It is a bit like loneliness in Japan, but not so posh. Sometimes we have to go into the woods to be alone, or spend a night out with friends without saying anything to anyone. Mostly it is a positive thing, it only turns negative if we are forced to be alone against our will. This series follows various underground bands from Helsinki who manifest this positive side of loneliness. The photos are dark, but never gloomy or depressed. These bands have all grown from the same fertile underground between visual arts and music in Helsinki.

Bands photographed: Elatu Nessa, Hockey Night, Olimpia Splendid, Sakristian, Vaisu Luksus.

This photo series is part of the Norient exhibition Seismographic Sounds and was published first in the correspondent Norient book.
