A WAY TO DISCONNECT AND CONNECT, 2009-17

The photographs in A Way to Disconnect and Connect were taken by Cristian Ordóñez between 2009 and 2017. Over a period of eight years, Ordóñez photographed people, places and traces throughout Chile (the artist’s country of origin), Canada (his new home) and the United States.

Collected here, the images serve as a record of Ordóñez’s exploration and discovery of a broad range of local information and cultures. The photos provide a representation of a specific place and time, while also activating memories of other places.

The artist uses this process to understand that everything is connected.
