Structure, images and empathy – Caretas Cultura

205

Structure and images have an implicit alliance. By way of the
photos we are able to get nearer to distant locations, we are able to unfold what
constructed, report issues and, in some circumstances, even higher perceive what
what occurs in area.

One of many limitations, maybe, is the truth that images, as a medium
two-dimensional, hardly ever manages to point out us the richness and complexities of
journey by means of an architectural, three-dimensional area topic to the passage of time.
Nevertheless, there are photographers who’re able to transmitting different issues, which
They’ll even complement the precise expertise of seeing and touring what
constructed. Such is the case of Eleazar Cuadros within the exhibition “Lima. Horizon
with out finish”, curated by Patricia Ciriani. In a world that’s continually
saturating ourselves with photos that we eat with out remembering, the exhibition manages to be
memorable.

Within the pictures on show we see a metropolis to which we’re
accustomed: neighborhoods not but consolidated, informality, even precariousness,
however there is a component in these pictures that transforms these landscapes
on a regular basis life in extraordinary scenes: folks.

We not solely see buildings or city areas, however scenes of on a regular basis life,
of humanity, of creativity. The massive printing format within the pattern
permits us to understand particulars and relationships that in our regular excursions of
We can’t see the areas.

It’s, in essence, a lesson in empathy that we architects so desperately want,
designers, planners and authorities. By way of images we are able to
see life in areas and the folks these areas ought to serve
serve. It’s by means of folks, their expressions and their methods of utilizing, that
areas purchase that means.

The exhibition “Lima. Infinite Horizon” is situated within the Martín Yépez Gallery
