Argentine photographer Matías Costa (born 1973) presents pictures from several decades of his work, weaving his own biography, workbooks and personal notes into the story of his art. Driven by his nomadic character, his photographs invite viewers to reflect on a world driven by chance.
In 1999, the inhabitants of the Panama Canal Zone, known as the Zonians, were stripped of their privileges when their land ceased to be a North American territory. Today, some are returning home. These images, taken between 2011 and 2014 in the Panama Canal and Orlando, follow the last moments of their existence as a community.
