Trinidad Carrillo: Oneiromance
Trinidad Carrillo
20240517 - 20240606
The photographs in Oneiromance originate from Trinidad Carrillo’s curiosity about shamans and their sacred plants—a protected cultural heritage in the photographer’s homeland of Peru. The path that emerges when this curiosity is allowed to guide is filled with existential reflections.
Trinidad Carrillo began the work in 2016 when she first came into contact with shamans in Peru. However, with the pandemic and the death of her father, the travels were interrupted, and Carrillo was forced into a brutal rethinking. However, death is a place that the shamans know well, and the plants come from the earth.
Trinidad describes that the images come from the state of mind of sleep: “Like dreams that have seeped out of my subconscious with a strong desire to cling to reality and not be forgotten. Like Icaros – the Shipibo shamans’ songs – that made me sing loudly when I slept.”
Trinidad Carrillo was born in 1975 in Cusco, Peru and moved to Sweden in 1987.
Her photographic work is described as poetry sprung from the spaces and parallel realities. Her artistry also includes music, performance, installations and film.
The conversation will be broadcast live on Centrum för fotografi’s Instagram on Friday, May 17th at 1:00 PM.
