Progressive Street

  I think genres in art limit you if you try to stick to them. Too many rules about it that limit your creativity. I think art is about just the opposite, about breaking rules or at least using them to your convenience, to expand your art, not to restrict it. . Nevertheless, I always take photos in the streets ,  no matter in what part of the world I am. And if I am not in the streets, I have the same way of seeing ( for instance at home or being with friends) as if I were walking outside in a big city

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina where I have lived most of my life. I have always been interested in the humanities and arts. I am a psychoanalyst and also studied Literature at Buenos Aires University. I have written poetry and short stories that won some awards. 
   In 2009, when I was returning home from a trip to Paris, I realized that I not only did not want to leave that beloved city, but I decided not to lose my amazed eyes, that had gone through bridges, little winding streets, as foreigners or as just-born eyes. I returned to my city, Buenos Aires, wanting to look around as if I had never seen anything. That is where I met photography. 

I attended workshops with  Adriana Lestido,  Juan Travnik, Alberto Goldenstein, Alberto Garcia Alix ( In the FIFV in Chile) and Antoine D’Agata.

I had my work exhibited in the USA,  Valparaíso ( FIFV), Santiago de Chile, curated by Alberto García Alix, In France, Spain, Taiwan, Malaysia, England, Germany and Argentina 
   My intention is to make my camera mix with my eyes, with my way of seeing, to catch the singularity of common people, who are really never so common, and life in the streets. Reflections, special one-second expressions, geometric juxtapositions of shadows, lights, and people, like kaleidoscopes. A gaze between two human beings who pass in the street and perhaps will never meet again. For me photography is a way of learning, click by click, what you are, what human beings, and what this world is about

Group Exhibition

The purpose of this exhibition is to show the work of the whole Progressive Street Gang –  a diverse collection of photographers from around the world – which is not exclusively a group of street photographers but a group of photographers across the board. Talking about styles and differences in techniques and approaches is boring and not even very useful, because what counts in photography is sincerity. For this reason, I have chosen to couple images, a kind of shot – reverse-shot, freely interpreted. As in life, there is a glance and a counter-glance that gives depth to everything and every event, so this conceptual escamotage helped me to select photos that when put together managed to create a story and provoke thought, whilst showing at the same time the peculiarities of the various photographers.
