Description: I was drowning in words. With that, Juan Manuel Echavarra walked away from a 30 year career as a writer of fiction. A year later, he stumbled into his new vocation. Driving through Bogot, he noticed that sidewalk vendors were displaying their wares on battered old mannequins. Shoppers rifling through the clothing werent paying attention, but for Echavarra, for a moment, the mannequins became the roughedup citizens of Colombia, rural peasants suffering massacre after massacre, displaced, made refugees, killed. These discarded and recycled standins for the human body seemed to represent the damaged lives of ordinary people made helpless, homeless and violent by 50 years of civil warthe same refugees shopping in the market. Through photography and video, Echavarra went on to create the visual requiem thats documented herethe titular work, a 75minute film, has been shown at The Museum of Modern Art, among other museumsa sad hymn to his own country, Colombia.
