PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 003

“One” is the first printed selection of an ongoing series by the American Colombian photographer and film director STILLZ. Designed as a type of “telephone directory”, the book results in a compilation of photographs he has been taking with his 70s Polaroid Big Shot since 2017.

Inspired by Warhol’s Polaroids (1958-1987), he uses this same format to create a living map of America’s contemporary urban scene. In a way, the publication functions as the artist's manifesto and a declaration of intent, using his own words, “to create a kind of personal mark at a specific point in time for the music culture”. Indeed, as once did Warhol, STILLZ continues to work with the most influential characters of our times.

The collection of portraits, including artists such as Erykah Badu, A$AP Rocky, Miley Cyrus or the late XXXTentacion, is the material testimony of STILLZ’s outstanding professional career and the relationships that are forged during the process.
