Color Cartagena. The Hay Festival through the lens of Daniel Mordzinski
Centro de Convenciones (Salón Barahona)
Read moreThis book celebrates two decades of the Hay Festival Cartagena, Colombia’s great event dedicated to the book and culture. Daniel Mordzinski (Argentina), known as the “writer’s photographer”, offers a playful and unusual view of literature; it gives us his viewpoint together with texts that offer a panorama given by a photographer who has been immersed in the book world for almost half a century. A brief anecdote and a few thoughts accompany each photo, and together with what the images show us, we are party to what goes on outside the frame. Color Cartagena, the official book of twenty years of the Hay Festival, offers the reader a unique experience: the chance to glimpse the visual and emotional kaleidoscope of an exceptional witness to the literature of our time. With Cristina Fuentes La Roche (Spain), Catalina Gómez Ángel (Colombia), Daniel Samper Pizano (Colombia) and Jaime Abello Banfi (Colombia) in conversation with Felipe Restrepo Pombo.
Price: $40,000.00 (COP)
With the support of Fontur

Daniel Mordzinski in conversation with Toni Celia
The Writer's Photographer
Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla (Museo Mapuka)
Read moreDaniel Mordzinski (Argentina), known as the “writer’s photographer”, has created a body of photographic work and an aesthetic closely linked to literature and its mystique: from his first photos of Jorge Luis Borges in 1978, including hundreds of writers who have passed in front of his camera, and with over 15 years of work linked to the Hay Festivals. He will talk about his extraordinary career, which has been built up at the frontier of images and words. In conversation with Toni Celia.
