The project took several years and many trips to locate and arrive on time to meet the extraordinary characters who star in the captures, in which Toro immerses himself as a witness of their toughest tasks, living with them and capturing the poetic essence with the camera of such unique moments.
On Living relics of the plain
The exhibition is made up of 17 large-format photographs that transport us to a world where only the deep wisdom of its ancient inhabitants can show us this living relic that is life in the true plain. In these photographs, Luis Julio Toro manages to blend in with them and show the violent movement of horsemen “throwing the lasso” or pronouncing a spell to cure a horse and immerses the viewer in that magic that the poet Alberto Arvelo speaks of.
The curatorship has been in charge of the photographer Ricardo Jiménez, with the sponsorship of the Humana Foundation and the Maldonado Family, and the catalog designs and texts in charge of Gisela Viloria and Carolina Arnal with a montage by the museographer Rafael Santana. A high caliber team that, together with Hacienda la Trinidad, undoubtedly guarantee us a delicious and enriching experience.
Luis Julio Toro is an outstanding flutist and a fundamental pillar of the Gurrufio Ensemble. On this occasion he shows another facet of his artistic work with this series of photographs that capture essential moments of the tasks of the Venezuelan plains.
This exhibition will be open to the public from Sunday 8 January Hacienda la Trinidad Cultural Park, located in the Sorocaima urbanization of La Trinidad, Caracas; from Tuesday to Sunday: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
