Logotopías, 2004

After systematic journeys and walks across the city in search for the signs and images of the recent urban developments in Medellin, specially focusing in the housing developments in sub-urban areas, the material gathered consisting mainly of photographs, advertising and marketing stuff, were transformed into a series of oval photo-etchings that feature the views of the new residential sectors with trademarks of the commercial housing projects. The round format and the laborious technique added to the kind of bucolic landscapes surrounding the housings etched on stainless steal plates, play an ironic role to criticize the greedy expansion of the city and the property speculation. |
