ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in Venezuela, John Londoño works and lives in Montreal. He has a college degree in photography from the Cégep du Vieux-Montréal and a diploma in Fine Arts of Concordia University. In 2000, he carries off the first prize of the Lux Quebec student category two times
and has since then participated in many collective exhibitions. He was also in charge of the photographic exhibition “Translucide” presented during the last summer in the Maison de la culture Frontenac. His artistic research mainly explores the intimate and comes generally from autobiographical motivations. His actual projects lean towards the ambiguity of the frontier between real and fictional. According to him, since we are situated somewhere between weightlessness and lucidity, we experience differently this demarcation.

The image of these individuals will be broadcasted in real time in the centre of the other images projected (personnal and media). Therefore, the audience will be integrated to the evoked problematics and will play an active role by being placed in the centre of these contrasting photographies that raise opposite concepts : violence-peace, desire-aversion, life-death...
