Tony Mendoza: Short Stories
Short Stories showcases an ongoing series by Tony Mendoza, a Cuban-born artist living and working in Columbus, Ohio, who, since the mid-80s, has created a body of experimental double-portrait photographs. Mendoza’s signature practice involves coupling photographs with short autobiographical stories to encapsulate his varied experiences. His work invites viewers into his intimate world, sharing a portrait of those subjects captured in black-and-white photographs, alongside a composite “portrait” of Mendoza through the recollected snippets and words shared with the viewer. The works cross a range of emotions, through which Mendoza’s inherent humorous personality sings.
