Tierra en trance

Marcos López

The exhibition "Tierra en trance" (Land in trance) is composed by a series of photographic works: portraits, street scenes and a large mural, created especially for this exhibition by photographer Marcos López (b. Santa Fe, Argentina 1958). The works (many never exhibited before) reflect on the transformations of the individuals and society after the economic crisis of 2001, particularly in the district of Constitution in Buenos Aires. The exhibition was part of "Arte en la Torre", a cultural program organized by Fundación YPF that under the curatorship of Fernando Farina invites noted contemporary artists to create site-specific projects for the new exhibition space of the ground floor of the building Torre YPF in Puerto Madero (Buenos Aires), an impressive skyscraper designed by architect Cesar Pelli.
