In 2003, Jorge Mario Munera won the Latino and Latin American Art
Forum Prize at Harvard University, which entitled him to produce
and present an exhibit at Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for
Latin American Studies. By this time, Munera had already produced
an important body of work, revealing even the farthest corners of
his native Colombia through his photographs of people and their
traditions. Portraits of an Invisible Country, which bears the name
of the exhibit he presented at Harvard in 2004, is the culmination
of a five-year collaboration between the photographer and the
curator of the show, Jose Luis Falconi. It comprises a book of
essays with insightful reflections on Munera's diverse body of work
and a series of sixteen photo posters, which together highlight the
photographer's travels within Colombia and his careful depiction of
his countrymen and women. Renowned in Colombia as one of the most
prolific and influential photographers of his generation, Munera
was the first recipient of the National Photography Award in
Colombia in 1998. Since then, numerous international accolades have
followed, chief among them as the first photographer to hold the
Andres Bello Chair of the King Juan Carlos Center at New York
University.
