EJ and Isabel Emily and Carolina Colette and Isabel from Value Content/Valor Contenido Value Content/Valor Contenido exchanges small personal objects between the cities of Philadelphia and Medellín, exploring what happens when we give something we value away to a stranger we’ve never met. It is part 75ºWest/75ºOeste, a collaboration with Colombian activist Daniel Urrea. (75degreeswest.com) "Value Content is a broad and intimate work. On the intimate level: people's stories, people's hands, touching something that someone else once touched. My experience of Supervene Forest was also intimate. I was one of the people who foraged for and then planted acorns. I'm there in the middle photo, putting my hands in the earth - something I rarely do. On the broad level: Value Content asks how we as individuals can intervene in the globalized economy. How can links of contact - statue, key, bracelet - help us reevaluate the market forces that propel our worlds? Likewise with Supervene Forest: skin, seed, dirt. How do these small gestures grow big interventions?" - Maria Möller 7C. Gerry Harris' 'Oak' print
