The project
Pony Congo brought together photographic work by Vicente Paredes at Fotoescuela, curated by Jorge Alamar. Archicercle advised on substrates and materials and carried out the exhibition’s graphic production.
The exhibition juxtaposed two childhood realities: the search for recognition among children from affluent backgrounds and the smiles of African children. Our contribution focused on how substrates and finishes could reinforce this narrative without changing the original photographic concept.
We printed all the photographs on matt paper. The images of children from affluent backgrounds were additionally laminated with a sheet of gloss acrylic. This difference in finish supported the contrast established by the exhibition.
The work connected material advice with the final production of the photographs: a shared printing substrate and a distinct finish for one of the two groups of images.
