Synopsis

This new volume of the PHotoBolsillo series focuses on the Venezuelan artist Alexander Apóstol through a monograph in which his most outstanding and relevant works are compiled. Throughout his artistic career, Alexander Apóstol has explored about the masculinity, homosexuality and the prejudices about them in the Latin American context. Apóstol focuses and reflects on the construction of identity and gender in Venezuela, a nation deeply marked by its political circumstances, and some of his works are concentrated on the iconography of the urban landscape across the country. The book also includes a documented text by Diana López, director of the the Archivo Fotografía Urbana in Caracas.
