Maite De Orbe
Sublime Speed
We meet with Maite de Orbe at the Assembly Darkrooms, a tight knit, community-run printing studio in East London. As we speak, Maite sifts through new prints, pausing to tenderly reflect on portraits and memories, while tracing new connections between the images. Here we discuss the preparation for their first solo in London, A Moment Opposite to Blindness at Miłość gallery, the recent release of their photo book, The Infamous Spaghetti Sisters, a film on the queer ballroom scene in the Dominican Republic, and the power in stepping back to assess our impulses in the creative practice.
