Antes del Ruido
Before Sound is a body of work that documents the transformation of an abandoned Catholic school into an electronic music venue in Bogotá. More than a record of architectural change, it is an emotional archive that captures a space caught between destruction and creation, discipline and freedom, past and future.
Chairs appear throughout the work as quiet witnesses to change. Once tools of discipline and conformity, they now sit broken, scattered, or misplaced, embodying absence, memory, and resistance. Their presence becomes a metaphor for the bodies that once inhabited them, for what was taught and what is now being unlearned.
The project moves through liminal space, caught between order and chaos, tradition and possibility. Developed through long exposures and cinematic composition, the images invite pause and contemplation, allowing light and time to reshape each scene.
Kinder Project reflects on how we build spaces of meaning in uncertain times. It questions inherited systems like education and religion, while also imagining new ways of gathering, identity making, and collective healing. It is a deeply personal work. I kept returning to this place, not just to document change, but to understand my own. Photography helped me slow down and pay attention to what was being lost, transformed, or quietly resisting.
As time passes, the images will hold not only documentary value, but emotional weight echoes of a moment that shaped me and mirrors the broader transformations of our present.
Antes del Ruido documenta la transformación de un colegio católico abandonado en un club de música electrónica en Bogotá. Más que un registro arquitectónico, es un archivo emocional que habita el umbral entre destrucción y creación, disciplina y libertad, pasado y futuro.
Las sillas, antes símbolos de orden y conformidad, aparecen rotas y dispersas como metáforas de ausencia, memoria y resistencia. A través de largas exposiciones y una mirada cinematográfica, las imágenes invitan a contemplar la luz y el tiempo como fuerzas de transformación.
Este proyecto cuestiona sistemas heredados como la educación y la religión, al tiempo que imagina nuevas formas de encuentro, identidad y sanación colectiva. Es un trabajo profundamente personal, donde la fotografía se convierte en herramienta para entender lo que se pierde, lo que cambia y lo que persiste.
