For the last month I have been working on a collaborative series with British fine-art photographer Miss Aniela (aka Natalie Dybisz).  We met in a weekend trip to Paris last June, took lots of pictures and uploaded four of the resulting images onto Flickr -check the work we’ve done if you haven’t already! After the two days we had to work on several ideas and this last month of online post-processing, I’m surprised of how many things we have in common, in spite of the seemingly big differences between our individual work.

—————————————

At last, the identity of the anonymous authors in the project Dialogue With the Radio has been revealed!! Remember the mysterious E, N, D and ENEDD? Well, find out who they are now!!!:

Allow me to introduce Nicolás Díaz Durana, who is standing right next to me in this not-so-artsy portrait.  We met in our hometown, Bogotá. We both went to catholic schools for boys and girls separately, where we developped a passionate desdain for labels, stereotypes, social standards, as well as anything that would give us false and gratuitous expectations concerning life, humankind, wellbeing, self-esteem, future, happiness, etc (i.e any kind of religous group, political party, self-help group, a fan club, a fast diet program, and so forth). But we didn’t meet until University, and before that we both thought we were bound to end up alone, for we are conscientious guardians of our own individuality, and we do not embrace strangers easely. Subsequently, we entered each other’s lives slowly, almost reluctantly…and I don’t know when and how we fell in love, it just happened. Our story is not one to put in a movie, epic lovestory overseas, tragedy with a happy ending.

We are just two human beings that truly love each other. We stubbornly search for ways to improve our lives and we do not intend to change the world.

>>He writes, I make images. He is E, N, D, ENEDD. One, two and many more. We both created and run Dialogue With The Radio, the online version as well as the design of the book*. We just came back from a holiday, more sick than ever of flowers and sweet pieces of joyful empty sounds. We don’t want to filter our ideas anymore…not even a tiny bit.

“How talented are you? Can you speak your mind? I mean, what’s down under, not what’s floating in the shiny top of your very kind convinience.

Images speak out. This section invites you to do the same thing. Are you to it”.**

* We’re designing the book…please be patient about that, it’s a long process!
