About the Book:
Caracas: Homecoming is a meticulously crafted book that unfolds in three distinct layers, each adding depth and shifting the overall meaning. The journey begins with Osamu Kanemura's evocative text, "Cracked Concrete." This section uses Sira's poignant photography to paint a vivid picture of a city where the traces of the deceased are integral to its essence.

Following this, readers are immersed in a series of 121 color photographs, presented in diptychs, that capture the essence of Caracas as if seen through a camera left on during a city walk. These images offer a raw, unfiltered look at the city, highlighting its beauty and complexity.

The final layer, titled "The Dream of Order," features eight fragmented narratives by Victor Sira. This section blends text with black-and-white images, delving into the intimate and poignant memories of Caracas through the lens of Sira's family experiences and the city's push toward modernization. These narratives vividly depict a city in constant ideological flux, accompanied by small black-and-white photographs that serve as visual punctuation to the text.

Victor Sira, born in Venezuela in 1969 and currently based in New York City, works across various mediums including photography, video, and artist books. He has been honored with fellowships from prestigious institutions such as the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Andrea Frank Foundation, the W. Eugene Smith Foundation, and the New York Foundation for the Arts.

In addition to his artistic work, Sira has taught at the ICP–Bard MFA Program in Photographic Studies, SUNY Purchase School of Art and Design, and the Hartford Art School’s MFA Photography Program. Sira is also the co-founder of bookdummypress, a platform dedicated to visual publications.
