Aruba Photo Room presents ISO 20

A photography Exhibition by Nelson Gonzalez

ORANJESTAD - Contem-
porary artist Nelson Gon-
zalez, under the curator-
ship of Fabian Gonçalves
Borrega, presents a new
collection at Aruba Photo
Room at the Talk of the
Town Hotel & Beach Club
in Oranjestad this April 15,
starting at 7:30 pm.

The photographic piece
that Gonzalez brings us is a
series that was initially cap-
tured on 35MM celluloid
20 years ago. In the 2000s,
Gonzalez began to create
a personal archive, docu-
menting his travels and
saving the negatives. This
process took place until he
migrated to Aruba in 2003.

When the digital world left
behind all analog formats,
Gonzalez's archive be-
came obsolete and lost for
almost two decades. The
mistreatment of time on
such sensitive material con-
tributes to today's ISO 20 as
an artistic project since it
was initially intended as an
archive. After 20 years, this
project is presented for the
first time in the form of an
exhibition, NFT, and photo-
book, locally and in differ-
ent galleries and interna-
tional art centers.

Artist Nelson Gonzalez
would like to thank Prins
Bernhard Cultuurfonds Ca-
ribbean for supporting the
realization of this project in
Aruba and supporting im-
portant initiatives that en-
hance and keep alive the
creative spirit and heritage
value of the future.

The local public is cordially
invited. Admission is entirely
free, and we look forward
to seeing you on April 15,
2022, at 7:30 pm.
