Photographer profile
Cristina de Middel. Reinventing the document
Documentary practice, reconstruction and imagination reveal the choices hidden inside photographic truth.
Truth as construction
De Middel uses her photojournalistic background to question familiar visual formulas. Reconstruction reveals that every document contains choices.
The Afronauts
The project revisits a 1960s Zambian space programme through staged images and archival clues. Akimbo belongs to a sequence where fact and invention remain in tension.
Sources and further reading
Sources allow readers to verify and explore. Official artist links are part of the feature, not an appendix.
ADVAcquistare Arte recommends: Resin-sealed books, words and layered images turn melancholy into a material narrative.
