"Omen" reexamina el archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration, revelando un relato menos conocido que cuestiona las perspectivas tradicionales de la historia estadounidense.
La secuencia visual de este libro desafía las normas al recortar de manera creativa imágenes de los archivos de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York.
Lucy Ives, la aclamada escritora y poetisa estadounidense, ha escrito con maestría el cautivador texto de Omen. Ives se ha consolidado como una de las principales voces del mundo literario contemporáneo, con numerosas publicaciones aclamadas por la crítica.
Persiguiendo al fantasma, las huellas del olvido y los ecos de lo que fue y ya no es, Omen representa una es una revisión y recontextualización de una parte del archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) alojado en la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York. Este programa destacó como uno de los hitos de la fotografía documental moderna y desempeñó un papel fundamental en la construcción de una narrativa hegemónica ―principalmente en torno al triunfo contra la adversidad, la división y la catástrofe― de la historia reciente de los Estados Unidos y su orden social. Pero enfatizando la mirada sobre ese monumental conjunto de imágenes y explorando las esquinas de los cuadros, los fondos y los detalles―en los personajes secundarios, en lo que no debería estar, en lo que aparece por casualidad, accidente o error―es posible descubrir una narrativa diferente: una más espesa, turbia, turbulenta, compleja, contemporánea y contradictoria. Como un estallido y un ápice: una premonición de la continuidad genealógica de las múltiples violencias sistémicas, tumultuosas, visibles e invisibles, atronadoras y silenciosas que dan forma al rostro de la sociedad estadounidense.
El libro funciona simultáneamente como un reflejo de la angustiosa realidad de los Estados Unidos en nuestros días y como un instrumento de reflexión sobre la forma en que se interpreta y comprende la fotografía histórica y documental.

Dark, surreal scenes hidden in an iconic photographic archive of Depression-era America.
Drawing from approximately 40,000 works of the Farm Security Administration Photographic Archive (1935-44) housed at the New York Public Library, Omen reviews and reframes this landmark project of modern American documentary photography. The monumental project features works by storied photographers such as Russell Lee, Dorothea Lange, Ben Shahn, Walker Evans, Carl Mydans, Arthur Rothstein, Gordon Parks and Jack Delano. Many of the more iconic images that arose from this initiative were instrumental in constructing a hegemonic narrative of triumph against adversity in Depression-era America. In scrutinizing the backgrounds and secondary characters of some lesser-known photographs, however, a more turbulent story emerges.
Omen is co-edited by Mexican artists León Muñoz Santini and Jorge Panchoaga, providing a fresh perspective on this quintessentially American study. The image sequence amplifies the eerie details in enlarged, stark black-and-white images, creatively cropped and abutted together to form insidious connections. These hidden stories are premonitions of the visible and invisible specters of systemic injustice that characterize American society, their cycles renewing with each successive generation. Thus, Omen at once serves as a mirror for the anguished reality of today, and as a device for reflection on how historical and documentary photography is read and understood: taking the editorial gaze to its ultimate consequences. The book includes a narrative text by novelist and poet Lucy Ives.
