In a time when art exhibitions often rely on sterile jargon or formulaic press releases, weRstories brings storytelling into the spotlight to add depth and context to contemporary art. By collaborating with artists and writers, the project explores how fiction and narrative can enrich exhibition spaces, creating texts that enhance the impact of visual artworks.
This book, inspired by weRstories’ first exhibition, Not Another Art Show (September 2022), explores the relationship between words and images. It features the work of Berlin-based photographer Alfredo Ramos Fernández (Havana, 1964), whose background as a geographer informs his approach to capturing the traces of human activity. His photography highlights the tension between societal ideals and actions, inviting viewers to find their own interpretations. Through fictional stories, interview excerpts, and reflective texts, this book adds new dimensions to Ramos Fernández’s images. It offers fresh perspectives on the themes of his work, examining the connections between reality and imagination, and the questions they provoke.
This collection invites readers to engage with Ramos Fernández’s photography as more than visual documentation. It becomes a layered experience where words and images interact, revealing new ways to interpret and connect with the world.
