El País, the highest-circulation daily newspaper in Spain, has published Born Nowhere! Check it out!
Laís Pontes es una artista y fotógrafa brasileña, que con Project Born Nowhere, proponeuna aproximación participativa al concepto de identidad, a través de las redes sociales. En el proyecto, que surgió en 2011 durante una residencia en el International Center of Photography (ICP) de Nueva York, la artista va moldeando a partir de su rostro una serie de identidades de mujeres inexistentes, que realiza con aplicaciones para el retoque fotográfico y herramientas digitales. “El objetivo es introducir características que puedan convertir el mismo rostro cada vez en una nueva personalidad”, explica la artista.

I would like to share with you the special comment about Born Nowhere from Hava Gurevich from Art 2 Art, an amazing reviewer that I had the pleasure of meeting at FotoFest in Houston.
Lais takes self-portraits that she skillfully manipulates digitally and then releases on a social media site for people to interact with. The project is collaborative and evolves over time, with input from friends and strangers…each girl’s background, personality and story is a collaborative collage of comments people leave on the posting. This project taps into issues of stereotypes, culture, class, race, age etc.. I think it is a smart use of social media. I also like the tension between the very controlled portraits and the unpredictable outcome of each piece.
