URBANO BEATS by Claudia Salguero Vernissage
Downtown is a whole organism in itself and we are all part of it. We circulate in it like particles charged with energy (positive or negative as we choose) and in order to function we interact with objects like concrete, buildings, light poles and signs. They are permanently watching us, supporting us, basically bearing us yet we seldom stop to notice them. Painting stroke by stroke over my photographs and printing on aluminum, I add by hand what my camera can’t capture: all those existing vibrations, sounds, energy and connections between the city and us. This is my Downtown Aluminum Series printed on aluminum, a medium that completes this materialistic idea of becoming part of the city, its energy, its urban rush.
