There are exhibits that we cover as going for a walk, glancing, commenting on the work to pass, and of which we relaxed to go do some shopping or meet a friend. Still others are so powerful that not only costs leave the exhibition space, under the powerful influence of the images, it is complicated to go out and get to chat with anyone who lost cattle pass, so ensimismante that experience can be. The latter is what I felt to go " Cultures" photographic exhibition of Steve McCurry at the Centro Cultural Borges.
Located in photojournalism, and a leading contributor to National Geographic, his works, with few exceptions, take place in this whole englobalizador we call "East", the vast majority in India. In them some indication of the landscape or environment, but only when strictly necessary for the story itself, because the main protagonist of the series presented is the man, in a register of daily life that starts in the first 80 and reaches until 2000.
The look of the portraits is usually so strong in most of them, it's almost impossible not to be questioned as a spectator, establishing a silent dialogue with them. Behind this humanity occupying the foreground, the background becomes fuzzy.
The children are the main protagonists, whether in India, Indonesia and Afghanistan, as in the case of "masterpiece", shown separately in a gray wall, highlighting its importance above all else, "The Afghan girl, "probably one of the greatest beauties Earth has ever set foot.
Something that caught my attention was that the photographs did not have a title in itself but a description or explanation of the scene depicted, which section of a publication that probably were part and that helps us understand a little better.
When cities are portrayed as extremely poor as those seen in this sample, and the general work of Steve McCurry, there is a danger of falling into the tabloid pathos or cheap pity that they can cause. The line is very thin and very easy to get the other side. But this is not what we feel here in front of photographs of an artist you into these worlds without cheap shots. Cultures
is called the sample, which interests me greatly, because it implies that we will find there a definition, at least iconic of such term. How would these cultures formed then? For the sum of individuals that in total, by tradition (from the most benign to those that border on the inhumane, although each village speaks their own language of good and evil and the neighbor does not understand, say Nietzsche), identity attributes, clothing, religions and even by external imposition.
The sample is so enveloping that to completely forget the moisture that seeps through the roof of Borges, and pools that must be avoided. Ideal to go with enough time to dissect each image, they deserve it.
