A Journey Through Land, Memory, and Borders
“His images tell the story of an individual between two nations.”
-Laura González-Flores
Byron Brauchli is an American photographer and print-maker who has lived in México since the 1980s. He holds a Master´s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Texas at Austin and has exhibited internationally. His work, often combines historical processes with documentary themes, exploring the tensions between North and Latin América.
In Roamings, Brauchli invites us on a visual journey across mountains, rivers, and borderlands, spaces charged with personal and political meaning. His photographs, taken along the Colorado River and the Rio Bravo/Grande, from the heights of the Rocky Mountains to the beaches of the Gulf of México, reveal the complexity of a territory shared by México and the United States.
Rooted in his own family history of migration and exploration, Brauchli´s images are deeply reflective. They do not simply portrait the sublime; the examine how land carries the traces of both natural transformation and human intervention.
Roamings, challenges the traditional concept of the border. It portrays geography not as division, but as movement and connection between nations, histories and lives.
