born

b o r n is a book about nudity and silence.
A collection of spontaneous photos of skin as nature, empty spaces and light.
A nonchalant chronicle of texts that document a life, a young perspective on actuality.

Based on the first 3 years of the online photo
project and written diary by artist Manuel
Moncayo, the 160 pages publication presents
a selection of photo and text bound in 500
limited edition copies.

The artwork created in Berlin, Bruxelles and
Mexico presents a peculiar colour depiction of
beauty in uncomplicated concepts. Says Moncayo
“In times when ignorance prevails art needs to
be reachable by everyone.”

1st edition published by Manuel Moncayo
in Berlin, April 2017.
