Our reading written by Costa Rica Artists
José Alberto Hernández works between photography and graphic design, and his profile lists both: photographic series such as R.I.P. (Retratos Inconclusos Policiales, unfinished police portraits) and Inventario, and a graphics-and-installation piece titled CMYKj.
On the design side it lists inclusion in a 2008 book on Latin American graphic design and a place in the second Ibero-American design biennial, alongside two photographic series shown at a contemporary art museum.
