The dual photobook of the artist Ileana Montaño (Reaching for the Sky / The bruised ego) is, on the one hand, the manifestation of the inspiration and interpretation of the art of photomontage of French photographer Gilbert Garcin, seen, felt and interpreted by the eyes of a Mexican woman, from her own circumstances, idiosyncrasy, time and artistic language. And on the other hand, it is also a journey that goes from the "the darkness, loneliness and despair that emerges from internal conflicts, to the light of hope, resilience, and renewal; it is a journey of self-realization and self-discovery; a descent and ascent through the surreal and sometimes absurd but authentically human world." Ileana Montaño is a professional in graphic communications and advertising who lives and works in Mexico City. Through her work, she tries to evoke sensations. Her images are the combined inspiration of interweaved images and stories layered through her feelings and emotions. She studied Graphic Communications in the University of California in San Diego (1988). ENGLISH AND SPANISH TEXTS. LIMITED EDITION OF 500.
