Sidewalks
Adriana Moracci

Summoning dampness, autumn leaves, and cat paw prints in fresh cement, Adriana Moracci’s photographs are the abstract memory of a city—a rhomboidal or parallelepiped mystique, drawings that the tile craftsman placed there many years ago, purely for the practical purpose of locomotion. Horacio González

Playing with the proofing materials from her recently published book Sidewalks of Buenos Aires: Memory and Identity, Adriana Moracci presents an installation that can be visited at our Foundation until June 12.

This exhibition allows us to approach the behind-the-scenes of the book’s printing process: proofs, overlays, four-color printing—those processes that take place daily in the ’ace workshop are now brought to light through the very mechanisms used by the graphic printing industry.

ABOUT SIDEWALKS OF BUENOS AIRES: MEMORY AND IDENTITY

A book of photographs of sidewalks in the City of Buenos Aires through which the identity and history of a city are narrated. It is also a reflection of Argentine political history—of memory, identity, absence, and the constant renewal of a city that, in its pursuit of growth, at times erases traces of the past and sweeps away characteristic values of a society.
