Futuro is a photographer and filmmaker from Chile. He migrated to Europe in 2008 and has lived in various countries before establishing himself here, in Malmö. He has dedicated a large portion of his time to documenting migration across Europe and parts of the Americas. Berg Fredes has contributed to workshops for youths, exploring alternative creative photographic approaches in places such as Brazil, Greece, Mexico, Sweden and the UK. In Malmö, besides his photography he has studied peace and conflict and international relations.

 

In-Transito is an exhibition about a personal journey of self-discovery across the United States, Mexico and Guatemala. It’s a story about people, the landscapes and the objects that Futuro encountered during six months of traveling. Driven by curiosity and the desire to explore, his journey paralleled the stories of countless migrants from across the world who were seeking a better life, far away from home, where the grass is often greener. Many of the pictures of migrants are taken inside different detention centers and migrant-camps where Futuro worked as coordinator and inter- preter. All photographs are shot entirely on 35mm film.

​

A book with the name as the exhibition will be released during the opening, which shows more pictures of Futuros journey. The book is published by FAMN-Publishing; a small and experimental Malmö-based publishing house focusing on photography and visual art and small editions, with close collaboration with the artists.
