Invisible Cartographies
13.01.14 22.01.14
Patricia´s idea is to document the late nineteenth century architectural memory of Buenos Aires through her artistic expressions. Previously, Patricia made several short films, including Retratos de Abuela Ana (2008), Yo, rail (2008) and La Inventariante (2010) which won the FIVA International Video Art Festival prize in Buenos Aires.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Through photography and a video-documentary, the project Invisible Cartographies has developed a mapping of late XIXth and early XXth century buildings from the city of Buenos Aires. The artist has produced a photographic series from the buildings of 2.450 pictures.
The documentary movie entitled Dale was developed during her pathways through the city in which the artist and movie maker talked with Buenos Aires residents, asking about their memories in and about the city. Within a train journey, the music and architecture, we can see a variety of the city’s characters.
