Atmospheres captured and bottled!

Atmospheric mapping: Buenos Aires

This is a couple of early sketches from an ongoing project. The idea was to document different places of Buenos Aires city without revealing the places distinct characterisations. Only showing a certain feeling to the place, the mixture of solids and transparent coloured by light, weather, and people. I visited more and less known places of Buenos Aires and made some series of photos. I didn’t know what my idea would result, but gave myself two rules:

#1: No detailed revealing of the actual place or object
#2: No black & white photos (this is a tough one..)

This is a first selection. Multi-exposure: The illustrations each hold 25 layered photos. Atmospheric memorizing of the Proa Foundation exhibition centre in La Boca and the Japanese Garden of Buenos Aires.
