DESNUDAR EL CUERPO DESNUDO

Cuando CAMO, el speaker para la edición de agosto, llega a  Onspace Coworking, le preguntó a qué le sabe el orgullo.

Se queda callado por unos segundos y luego responde: “a diversidad, autenticidad, transgresión de códigos sociales y valentía”.

Me cuenta que no podría vivir sin una cámara  y sin los recuerdos de su juventud en Cartagena, su ciudad natal, un lugar en el que explorarse podría considerarse equivocado.

Le gusta mucho pasar tiempo en dos lugares en apariencia contrarios: el páramo y el mar. El primero lo usa  para recibir lo que el mundo tenga para darle, mientras que el segundo le sirve para desapegarse de pensamientos y sentimientos.  El páramo es donde recibe señal y el mar, la base donde se despoja de todo.

Quizá esa búsqueda de lo diferente tenga que ver con su gusto por  frutas como la guayaba, la granadilla y el corozo, entre otras,  por la atmósfera de sabores y colores que dan, y que asocia con diversidad.

El equipo de Osa Imagen termina de ajustar el sonido del evento y CAMO pasa al frente para iniciar su charla.

Nos cuenta que hace mucho tiempo, cuando nació en Cartagena, se llamaba Camilo. Siempre pensó que era una ciudad acorralada por viejas tradiciones y para escapar del machismo de ese lugar,  su única salida fue estudiar artes visuales.  A los 17 años llegó a la voraz Bogotá.

Estudió cine porque siempre había soñado con hacer videoclips y música. “Bogotá me dio los cojones para mostrar la persona que soy y me permitió  amalgamarme en ella”, cuenta. 

Comenzó a tomar fotos desde el año 2001, pues encontró en la fotografía una manera de expresarse, y comenzó a trabajar con imágenes obscenas que casi rayan en la pornografía.

Al principio todo fue un proceso de autocaptación. “No se trata de ser irreverente porque sí, sino de incomodar la escena mainstream con imágenes transgresoras”, dice. 

Piensa que su trabajo consiste en “desnudar el cuerpo desnudo; ir más allá de la desnudez para transgredir los ideales de belleza. En otras palabras, cuenta,  consiste en provocar y abrumar los códigos sociales de América Latina.”

Cuando comenzó a explorar la desnudez de cualquier persona, encontró en las redes sociales un medio para exponer su trabajo, pero dice que desde el 2009 sufre de baneo, una forma sutil de censura. Afirma que nunca ha visto su arte como algo obsceno y que nunca se ha lucrado por fotografiar desnudos.

A pesar de la repulsión que puede causar su arte, CAMO ha ganado visibilidad en espacios como ARTBO, en el que recibió buenas críticas por su obra:  Con el rabo entre las piernas, una serie de piezas que le tomó a  amigos, novios y amantes y con la que logró congregar a 100 hombres  para explorar las masculinidades tóxicas.

Hubo una época de su carrera en la que entró en conflicto y cuestionó su faceta de artista, donde se muestra sin máscaras, y la de fotógrafo comercial, donde lo tildan de loco, raro o queer. A ese periodo lo llamó Limbo.

Luego vino otra época que denominó Oscurantismo, en la que busca descifrar los algoritmos de las redes sociales  pues su trabajo comienza a ser censurado.

“Mi labor es ser un CameraHuman.  Retratar la intimidad, no solo la mía sino la de todas de las personas, de forma real”

–CAMO

August's Theme is Pride

Pride is a celebration of our truest, radiant selves and a defiance against those who expect us to dim our own light. We live in a world that often encourages us to take up less space, to conceal the parts of ourselves that can’t be easily commodified or consumed. Or worse, what we reveal exposes us to oppressive actors and systems who steal away our dignity. 

Pride is a powerful affirmation of authenticity. It gives us the grace to show up as ourselves and live in alignment with our values. It embraces every shade of our longings, our regrets, and our hopes — these beautiful and powerful things that make us who we are. 

Pride is when you stand tall and say, “This is who I am.” Pride is when you reclaim the parts of your identity that others might have scorned. Pride is when you raise your voice in defense of someone who is powerless, saying “Enough.” Because that someone might just be yourself. How will you unfurl yourself fully? How will you extend safety and solidarity so that we all may be unapologetically ourselves? Our Palm Beach chapter chose this month’s exploration of Pride and Kayla Griffin illustrated the theme.    Hope you can join us Friday, August 25th at the new Meow Wolf in Grapevine!
