Abstract:

Tiburcio González Rojas (birth date unknown) worked as a small-time jobbing photographer in the mid-twentieth century in the area around Ypacaraí, southeast of Asunción, where he specialized in ID photos. However, he soon turned his camera to the provincial life of the area, recording traditional events like the funeral rituals for infant deaths and folk music together with subjects that showed Paraguay, while under the draconian dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, experiencing the first signs of modernity: the arrival of electrification, the radio, modern youth gatherings, and women in stylish bathing suits. Lost for several decades, this is an intriguing archive of recovered photography that is part of the beginnings of contemporary photographic projects for Paraguay, a country whose photography remains essentially unknown.

摘要:

蒂伯西奥·冈萨雷斯·罗哈斯(TiburcioGonzálezRojas)(出生日期不详)在20世纪中叶担任亚松森东南部Ypacaraí周围地区的小型工作摄影师,专门从事证件照。然而,他很快将相机转到该地区的省级生活中,记录了传统事件,例如婴儿死亡的葬礼和民间音乐,以及展示巴拉圭的主题,而在阿尔弗雷多·斯特罗斯纳(Alfredo Stroessner)严厉的独裁统治下,经历了现代性的最初迹象:电气化,广播,现代青年聚会以及穿着时尚泳衣的女性的到来。丢失了几十年后,这是一个有趣的回收摄影档案,这是巴拉圭这个当代摄影项目开端的一部分,该国的摄影基本上还不为人所知。
