Untitled: Portrait
Captures the choreography of lights and flora in urban nightscapes.
After photographing nocturnal subject matter for some time, Depeña became consumed with the relationship between artificial lights and flora. Watching the movement and placements, the couple started to become more and more anthropomorphic, dancing and courting. A seemingly prearranged relationship forced by urban planning. A sort of love affair behind the sun’s back. Depeña chose to document this increasingly surreal relationship.

Video displayed on horizontal plane in center of project room
Presented during the show “Miami in Transition” at the Miami Art Museum (currently PAMM), this video was purchased by the museum and is part of their permanent collection.
This exhibition featured local artists whose work was informed either directly or indirectly by Miami’s metamorphosis. Selected by MAM curators, the works ranged from focused responses to construction/demolition to more general “psychogeographic” meditations on art and life amid an environment in flux. Miami in Transition was the first MAM exhibition dedicated entirely to Miami artists since the highly successful, year long New Work series in 2001.
