Curatorial Art
Fotos encontradas | Found photos, a collection of photos found on the streets of Buenos Aires. From the site:
'A city is, properly speaking, more poetic even than a countryside, for while Nature is a chaos of unconscious forces, a city is a chaos of conscious ones. The crest of the flower or the pattern of the lichen may or may not be significant symbols. But there is no stone in the street and no brick in the wall that is not actually a deliberate symbol - a message from some man, as much as if it were a telegram or a post-card. The narrowest street possesses, in every crook and twist of its intention, the soul of the man who built it.’
G. K. CHESTERTON
...All of the photos and objects that are shown here have been found in the streets of Buenos Aires, specially in the neighbourhoods of Once and Paternal: most of them inside the sunday's trashbags, many others on the sidewalks. The rest seem to have been lost by their owners.
