Court Space is pleased to present photographic works from Sebastian Hernandez in conjunction with a special edition by Ezequiel Olvera and fellow curators.
“In ‘Brown Commonz’, Hernandez’ iPhone camera lens oscillates between discreet desire and wandering in the mundanity of life among migrants, workers, children, and evangelists—all absorbed in their own activities. The voyeurism within ‘Brown Commonz’ often happens when a man—someone sitting across from her on the bus, resting against a mural, or walking with their child in the park—crosses Hernandez’s line of sight...
In MacArthur Park, you can hear Zapoteco, Mixteco, K’iche’, Triqui, Chinanteco, and Maya spoken, but at times it’s in a low tone, hidden—someone talking with the wired mic of their headphones sandwiched between silver teeth. At any moment, new friends and relatives can disappear. So many of the subjects in “Brown Commonz” exist in a liminal state of surveillance and invisibility.”
