Beyond bit redundant and eloquent text by the curator Andrea Chame, which begins by saying something like: "Eye sharp thinking and doing is a group photograph photographers together to produce individual and group photographic works, where reflection on the practice of photography itself is part of the reflection ", the exhibition at the Alliance Française presents a curious way to pay tribute to Bicentennial.
This group posed a challenge to reflect the 200 years of history of Argentina from the current picture, without resort to the most obvious method of using old documents. The results and selected edges were mixed. Natalia Saa chose to tell the story through the wrinkles and expression marks in close-up of a woman, whose face transiting, not so much 200, but if 85 Mayo, several generations originating in his belly and a few national tragedies which he witnessed.
Another member of the group decided to address both the heroes of the Revolution and Independence, as the antihero's Friends colonization. Pictures of the ice of our South illustrate the desire for freedom of a people, reflected in glaciers and icy waters. alternative to the legend of Belgrano watching the sky lit up covering our country. It turns out that the beautiful ice living in Patagonia share the same bright blue and white flag full of Argentina. These images framed phrases and dialogues Rivadavia like asking Belgrano hide their banner, and who does not want the thing to pass the rapture of enthusiasm of the soldiers for their hoist, and put in place that he sends. To which he replied Belgrano with the words he wanted to hear: "The will be rid so there is no memory of it. If anything they ask me tell you that is reserved for the day of the great victory, as it is far away, everyone will have forgotten, but not take a lot of the tip in fact, as we confirmed their presence albiceleste rising victorious in each square and school.
On the other hand, the story is told from the anecdotes also smaller those who make the daily life of residents and to reflect this, Roberto Criado chose to tell the social history that is generated in the meetings, through his photographs of the flag, coffee house is part of the city Buenos Aires since 1929.
And the one thing that gave identity to this city lost falling off the map is its river, the port that brought so much wealth and disagreement in these centuries. Germ of the city, called Ramon Espinosa, and not mistaken as to his side began to erect the first foundations and villages. The portrait is reflected today, dense and murderer, in the amount of poison poured into the interior that does not allow the survival of any biological species in its waters. Nothing remains of color who could have ever given name to the Rio de la Plata, brown everything is so intense that you can not see beyond 2 cm deep, while always inanimate objects like bottles, share space with beings who ever knew how to live and inert now float on the surface.
The views are chosen: the story "La Patria" Cortazar, illustrated quite literally but with pictures of this, cutting pictures expressionist Ariel Lopez, nocturnal pedestrians waiting to cross at a corner, monumental buildings and glazes that are part of new habitat in the city.
history through texts that are projected images from the present, from historical places, from nature that has always been and buildings begin to be. This is a tribute chosen by the group "Eye sharp thinking and doing photography" for the bicentennial anniversary of Argentina, in a few days come to an end to add another year to his credit.
