Iván Franco

The series that began in 2016, is dedicated to gathering testimonies of national photographers who, both for their work and for their teaching contribution, have contributed significantly to the construction of the photographic space of Uruguay. Each copy includes a central interview in which the photographer is consulted about his/her relationship with photography from the beginning, in dialogue with the moments crossed by the country to the present day. In addition to the interview is a group of images that synthesize the stages and searches in the production of the interviewee, as well as a brief biographical review that gathers outstanding data and dates of his trajectory. This edition is dedicated to Iván Franco (Fray Bentos, Uruguay 1961, lives and works in Montevideo), a photographer and the cheif editor of "la diaria" a photographic independent newspaper project that started in 2006 in Uruguay and where we, "the photographers are dedicated to our business, to doing a photography project to our liking, eliminating all the bad things that we had already lived in other newspapers."
