Andrés Montesanto: Apostrophe

"El Emigrante" and a change of perspective

This artwork is part of our campaign "Perspective matters". With start'19 in mind, we asked artists what they saw in the apostrophe from our event logo – or if it even is an apostrophe in their eyes. The responses to this call for entries revealed a multitude of perspectives that we want to share with our readers. More information about the campaign can be found HERE. 

Andrés Montesanto places the apostrophe into his work "El Emigrante". The placement of the apostrophe makes you think about perspectives on the subject of immigration. What view does the figure with the apostrophe have and does it differ from the other figures?

Are you inspired by this perspective? Don’t hesitate to show your own, then! To get you started we have prepared a craft template – download it HERE. As part of our campaign, we want to encourage everyone to look at their own perspective and maybe re-think it. While making such a small sculpture, you have the best opportunity to turn both things around: the paper sculpture and your own perspective ... we're curious to see what comes out of it!
