PERSONAE, portraits of personal fiction exhibit itinerary.
El Barrio’s Artspace PS109 2019 EXHIBIT – NYC
(Solo show)
Personae II is an exploration of how the human spirit, as
expressed through dreams, fantasy, and imagination, can
endure and transcend to provide perspective on the lived
experiences. For this installment, David collaborated with
a diverse group connected through the overarching theme
of conflict and trauma. Working with stigmatized and
marginalized groups, David aims to open a new path for
dialog between the spectator and the subject, an
opportunity for the participants to express and explore,
as well as bring attention to critical social issues through
the generation of fictionalized content.
Personae II is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by LMCC.

(Solo show)
Meksičko-američki portretni fotograf Carlos David u projektu Personae istražuje zamršen odnos između načina na koji vidimo sebe i načina na koji se predstavljamo drugima.
K portretiranju u projektu Personae, Carlos David poziva i okuplja ljude iz raznolikih zajednica; intelektualce, umjetnike, učesnike ratnih, rasnih, etničkih i drugih sukoba, žrtve obiteljskog i ideoloških nasilja, LGBT osobe, kao i one osobe koje ih podržavaju u njihovim zajednicama ili u obitelji
Sudionici projekta kao subjekti fotografskih portreta kroz sam medij i proces suradnje s fotografom otkrivaju i predstavljaju svoje fantazije i snove, najdublje, najskrivenije ili najomiljenije alter-ego verzije i pretvaraju ih na fotografskom setu u najrazličitije likove po svom izboru. Tako ista osoba može sebi dodijeliti jednu ili više različitih personae (uloga).
Meksičko-američki fotograf Carlos David studirao je hispanističku književnost, te je godinama radio kao pisac iz sjene i kazališni glumac u Mexico Cityju. Započeo je fotografsku karijeru nakon selidbe u New York City prije više od deset godina. Kombinira rad komercijalnog i reportažnog fotografa s umjetničkim potretiranjem.
