Lo que dejamos atrás : una historia sobre la familia, la migración y la idea de progresar

Abstract

"What I leave behind" is the result of a research-creation process in the area of Visual and Visual Arts. In a self-ethnographic approach to the idea of progress that led to the migration of my father's family, from the countryside to the city of Bogotá and how this is a reflection of many peasant families in the country. In moving photography and storytelling, I find a way to reflect on the idea of progressing and building a family memory. The poetic character is generated every time the person manipulates the machine advancing the image of the field disappearing by the arrival of the city, becoming a way to build history again and again making the viewer part of it.
