Venezuel(t)raum is a serie of digital publications that explores Venezuelan history through subjective narrative, using typography, and post-photographic intervention. The collection deconstructs architectural promises from the Pérez Jiménez dictatorship era, contrasting modernization dreams with fragmented realities.

Through algorithmic transformation of digitized materials, lost grain becomes textual representation. Each word correlates with specific image positions, fusing typography with photography beyond conventional visual representation. The work reconstructs blurred memory of the author's grandfather, Néstor Luis Negrón, who hosted television shows since the 50s.

The first TV show of Profesor Negrón (Néstor Luis Negrón) in Venezuela was “Monte sus Cauchos Goodyear”, which aired in 1954 on Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV)
