Crossing the Line

CROSSING THE LINE (by Andréz Martínez)

My work for the past three years has been dedicated to researches and propositions revolving around the ideas of traditional conventions used throughout the history of painting to interpret and represent the space from the plane or physical surface of the support material to the notion of illusory depth. In the intervened
photographs and objects that ensemble this recent project there is other intention. I found several archives of pictures taken by me in trips to Jujuy, Córdoba and Uruguay that for some reason were kept in storage, asleep and awaiting for the moment of this essay.
I digitally and manually intervene the images of landscapes, cutting lines and geometrical figures on sites that were sacred for civilizations that inhabited the Earth before ours. Lines, triangles, circles, they invade these landscapes virtually or imaginarily, as in a lucid dream, giving them again oneiric, magical and poetic characteristics. At the same time, these lines and symbols in the photographs come to volume by invading our everyday reality. The real and the imaginary, the profane and the sacred of symbols, the body and the psyche that by observing the images see themselves transiting these sites without leaving their own place.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
