Footnotes: Provenance Courtesy of the artist Exhibited Cerritos, Cerritos College Art Gallery, Ojala Nos Vean/Hope They See Us, 24 October-9 December 2022 Literature Kim Beil, 'Archive and Place: William Camargo Interviewed', Bomb Magazine, 2021 Artist statement: William Camargo's work entails research, intervention, and looking at new forms of displacement in local history. In his long-term series Origins & Displacements: Making Sense of Place, Histories & Possibilities, he responds to found archives of his hometown of Anaheim. His work intervenes in the history of photography as an imperialist/colonial tool and is part of contemporary artists of color using the camera to create a counter-history. He poses the question of re-staging canonical images of photographic histories, such as in his series After Divola, As Far As I Can Get in 10 Seconds, which comments on the act of running away in a brown body.
