MIRAMAR

Edited by Alan Jonathan Esparza Miranda and Pedro Meyer

“I think this is a good name for future photography, because the term ‘artificial’ doesn’t sit well with me, since these images are not artificial, and it also doesn’t reflect contemporary culture. We tried to navigate the intersection between photography and artificial intelligence in the creation of this volume.”

Edited by Plato, Elena Rosales Ortega and Pedro Meyer

Plato believed in the existence of a “world of ideas,” considering that the beauty of landscapes is an imperfect reflection of the true beauty that exists in the world of ideas. Meyer never deliberately focused on photographing landscapes as a theme, but rather came across them on his travels, photographing them with the intention of creating dreamlike images.

This volume brings together photographs of all three earthquakes.

When you travel, you discover the world, and it reveals itself to you. Everything you experience and feel at a moment in your life marks the way you approach that space and time; the coming and going of the gaze goes hand in hand with the coming and going of life. Meyer’s “An Ecuador” brings you closer to the visual reflections the photographer experienced during his travels to the country.

Edited by Racquel Barousse (Conejo Soñador) and Pedro Meyer

The circle is completed when a new dictator appears on the scene in Nicaragua, following a bloody insurrection where we had all placed the illusion of a victory for Latin America.

These photographs coincide with the author’s awareness of his being as a photographer, both at a collegial and technological level, where social themes take on special importance due to the strength of the documentary genre at the time (year?). Meyer felt that he was visiting his own in his travels through Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia.

The Zone Zero project was the first digital photography portal on the internet developed by Pedro Meyer in the 90s. A pioneer in the conversation about digital photography since its inception, it represented one of the first social networks to exist. On the portal, more than 1500 photographers exhibited their work for the first time on the internet. It also offered a wide range of workshops in mp4 format. This volume tells the story of its history and reminds us that many of the issues the project addressed are still ongoing.

One of the pillar genres of universal photography, such as portraiture, represents an important part of Pedro Meyer’s work. The author’s work is distinguished by the relationship of trust he builds with his subjects, whether friends or strangers. This book also accounts for the technological development that influences the result of the images obtained at a technical, aesthetic, and stylistic production level.
