The urban views of Buenos Aires by Michele Molinari presented in this book are the result of the photographer’s clear expressive need to document the city in an unconventional way.
The choice to alternate, with a well studied visual equilibrium, black and white square photos and color panoramas, proves how Molinari’s shifts between details and wide views, giving the observer a balanced mix of unbiased outlooks and personal glimpses.
The result is a jungle of constructions, a forest of buildings, houses, factories, concrete walls, that the photographer is able to unearth and celebrate. Hidden and austere views have a new life of almost majestic beauty. A.T.
