Evidentemente, tenés el don de ver, percibir, tomar partes o todos... ¡Y unirlos! Muy emotivo ver estas paredes, estas imágenes, muchas conocidas, muchas jamás las vi ni las veré. entonces, esto es un regalo. ¿Viste el San Jorge, no? Esas santerías son un mundo tan fotgrafiable, siempre que las veo te recuerdo. Son una mezcla, son sincretismo puro, acá mismo... Me gusta la variedad de tus elecciones: lo social, lo costumbrista, lo irónico, los íconos (¡¡hasta hipersaturados!), lo ingenuo y lo más sutil... Pensé que cerraas el Tabblo con la foto del hombre en el banco.
¡¡¡Buenísima esta Buenos Aires "querida"!!! aunqe Gardel no está nada favorecido... pero se presenta así la obra. Es.

Não imaginava encontrar santerías (e com São Jorge!) em Buenos Aires. Por pouco não entrei e pedi para fazer um ensaio fotográfico. Já me arrependi de não tê-lo feito. Destas fotos todas (as irônicas, as icônicas, as "sociais", as ingênuas, como vc bem catalogou), minha favorita é a #10, numa esquina da Av. de Mayo, perto do Congresso, um grande painel que traz mais trânsito ainda para a cidade. A propósito, o Gardel "desfavorecido" foi o que mais me atraiu naquele painel!
Liliana said at 10:31 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
Conozco bien esa pared de Av. de Mayo y... me da vértigo, hay veces en las que la odio, me gustaría algo más calmo ahí... Todo es muy porteño (¿notaste las caras, como la del colectivero...?), muy vertiginoso. Recuerdo que hace como un año almorzamos justo frente a la pintada. Al principio me gustó pero llegó un momento en el que ya no podía mirar para ahí, me saturaba. Pero me gusta tu mirada: incluís a la gente, eso la hace más viva.
Lo de Gardel fue justo lo que te dije: es así el dibujo,¡¡eso es lo bueno!! (Al menos eso quise decir con el escueto "Es."). Cada imagen es muy personal, particular. ¡Voy a tratar de traducir el poema (¡!) sobre Maradona, es gracioso.
Ojo, no quise catalogar, sólo mencionar ciertos tipos, hay más..

Oh man! Bogie AND Che?? In one tabblo?
Pkeener said at 10:43 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
and BART?? Edu, this is fantastick. MUITO LEGAL. I know I am not supposed to say that. But this is way cool/
Liliana said at 10:54 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
Eduardo, ¿quién es Bogie...? Creo conocer a los tipos de las intadas but that... I am not sure.
Pam: yes, it is!!! This is "pop-art", isn´t it???? Or globalization or... what you want. You can see some of our icons: Evita (LOL LOL, not Madonna...), el che, Maradona, Gardel but others like Bart ("el Barto", it is like a jocke with the name). But I really think these wals are like our culture, our country, our soil: eclectic, cosmopolitan...
Liliana said at 10:58 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
No puedo hacer rimar "Maradona" y "Mahoma" en inglés...
Liliana said at 10:59 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
Pam: as always, I write and don´t correct: I wanted to say "our soul"not "soil"!!!! (And walls, of course...).
Pkeener said at 11:01 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
They are beautiful, Liliana, and so original, and full of art and life and color. I would kill to be able to photograph your country.
Liliana said at 11:02 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
Of course, you are invited to do!!!
Pkeener said at 12:22 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
well, you just never know. I have wanted to go to Argentina and Brazil since I was a small child.
Shenresi said at 1:27 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
wow, very wonder- and colourful paints of street-art over here- great tabblo, Eduardo !!!
Andre. said at 3:31 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
Great stuff, Eddie. I just love it.
Wildthing said at 4:05 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
Exciting set. Packed with colour.
Liliana said at 6:21 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
Ha, ha, I don´t belive you!!!! I know in the USA Brazil is very popular but only few people knows the difference between Chile, Perú, Argentina or other Sudamerican countries... Brazil is a mithical land but I asume Argentina is not. :)
But... as Nike says: "Just do it!!". Argentina receive all the people, not only quite crazy Brazilian guys!!!

Exellent collection of the ingenuous art! Thank you, Eduardo! Make a film, pleas!
Mirella said at 10:16 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
I think that, in a certain way, they are artists. Beautiful Tabblo.
Chaitiamma said at 11:16 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
A true beauty !
Pkeener said at 11:35 a.m. on May 15, 2008:

Eddie Weirdo?? LOL LOL
EMA said at 6:29 p.m. on May 15, 2008:
Cool or...LEGAL! Beautiful photos and composition Eduardo!
Liliana said at 7:00 p.m. on May 15, 2008:
Eddie???? Really, Pam , I would never call Eduardo with that name!!!!! It is very very strange for me!
Debdog said at 12:21 a.m. on May 16, 2008:
WOW these pop off the page....the coolest street art i have seen :)
Chiloedream said at 12:04 p.m. on May 16, 2008:
Une belle série. mention spéciale pour le graphisme de la première image. salut Eduardo.
Ebucar said at 12:47 p.m. on May 16, 2008:
Liliana, só para te provocar: tabblo sensacional, mas tinha que colocar o Maradona?! Ai...ai...ai... Vou buscar meu escudo agora mesmo. É brincadeinha, você sabe.
Pkeener said at 5:06 p.m. on May 16, 2008:
Liliana, it was Andre that called him that. I was just laughing at it.
Jigs said at 10:47 p.m. on May 16, 2008:
I never realized what an artists' paradise Argentina is! Muito obrigado, Eduardo, for taking us through a wonderful eye-popping, mind-swirling tour - I can't get enough of the remarkable graphics and graffiti and street art and everything!
Liliana said at 10:30 a.m. on May 17, 2008:
Eliane: nao só tem a imagem do "génio".... Vc leu o poema?? É muito engraçado! Pode postar um grafitti do Ronaldinho ou Kaká, se quiser! ;)
Liliana said at 10:33 a.m. on May 17, 2008:
Eduardo: contrariamente a lo que dice Chiloé, no me gusta el primer mural, es más, me parece raro que hayas comenzado con él (de acuerdo: no es un mural, hay puertas...). Se me hace rígido y oscuro...Tal vez, una buena contraposición al resto, sei lá.
Sirnicolay said at 2:59 a.m. on May 18, 2008:
Wow! These are magnificent! Thank you for sharing these works of art here :)
Welshchick said at 4:11 a.m. on May 18, 2008:
Ah...I see the TANGO signs~~~!
Liliana said at 11:22 a.m. on May 18, 2008:
¿Agregaste la vaca con tucán...? No estaba antes, creo. ¡¡Un poquito de trópico por estos lares!!
AliDar said at 5:27 p.m. on May 21, 2008:
It amazes me how much a collections of photos of this sort of thing can say so much about a culture of a place. Its funny but I didn't notice that so much when I viewed tabs of things like this that were familiar to me. ... I think I need to travel more. I enjoyed this! :)
