Maria Guerberof “Buenos Aires 2001: A Culture Under Siege”
Matsuo Megumi + Voice Gallery psf/w
This event has ended.
This project is based on Maria Guerberof’s memories of her place of birth, Argentina. Fifteen years ago, during the brutal economic crash of 2001-02, we saw the total breakdown of society in Argentina. There was no choice but to leave and move from one country to the next. Maria Guerberof never returned. Recently she has gone back over her archive of old negatives from those crisis years in Argentina: images bearing witness to the slimes of desperation and commitment that shaped her vision as a photographer. Photographic practice is a way for her to construct a new reality from the vantage point of political awareness and resistance: her aim is to find a visual narrative by which to think critically about violence and its consequences for a culture. This series of photos taken on her daily wanderings around the city of Buenos Aires represents an emotional response to the chaotic moment she left the country and to the sinister invisibility of power.
