David Castillo presents Juan Luis Matos: The Only Way Out is Love and Forgiveness, a solo exhibition featuring four archival films selected by the artist alongside his own recent short film, The World is Not Our Home; together, the five works examine the fraught history of ethnographic and observational cinema, and the camera’s multifarious role: a nefarious tool and—alternatively or simultaneously—an invaluable instrument to bear witness, to remember.
