Herejías (Heresies)

Pedro Meyer This book was published as a catalog for the author’s retrospective; however, Herejías is, in essence, a prospective. Its gaze is not directed toward the past, but toward the future. The work confronts us with what its creator has observed throughout his life, reorganizing it and inviting us to look again and again, always anew. In 2008, Pedro Meyer published Herejías as part of an ambitious international project that included simultaneous exhibitions in over 60 museums around the world. The work was conceived not only as a retrospective, but as a reflection on photography in the digital age, a subject in which Meyer was a pioneer. The author distributed a selection from his archive (over 2,000 images) online, allowing curators in each country to freely select which photographs to exhibit. This model broke the mold: not only global simultaneity, but curatorial diversity from a shared image bank.
