La transformación de los pájaros
“First and foremost, I convey my intimacy. So it’s a perspective on things that are free. There is no intentionality or specific message, although there are projects in my life that are, for example, political. Also, what is important to me is to restore detail. But I don’t like to carry a specific narrative; even my most political photographs speak from intimacy.
Photography is my perspective, the everyday way I have to approach things. It is my way of denouncing the rush in its entirety, of ignoring some part of reality.”
“The first thing I associate with youth is primarily understanding. I've noticed that the subjects I adore the most are children. There are a lot of photos of children and also old women, which is very amusing because they represent two resurging states...”

This is my party
In the prologue of *The Ballad of Sexual Dependency*, Nan Goldin writes:
“There is a popular notion that the photographer is by nature a voyeur, the last to be invited to the party. But I’m not crashing; this is my party. This is my family, my history.”
I love parties because they are perfect spaces to explore two concepts that fascinate me: love and youth.
I am fascinated by taking photos of strangers showing themselves vulnerable and having fun. I love that the analog medium doesn’t allow me to know how those little slices of time looked until long after the party is over.
This is my party: my art and my love...

Soltura
Photographs taken digitally that reflect the ease with which youth moves through life. Some images perhaps lay bare the environments and sequences through which we navigate, and the way we inhabit space. Always hand in hand with nature, since I grew up very close to it.
“I got the camera in 2018. Before that, I had an interest, especially with my cell phone, which had a camera that allowed me to play around with it. That's when my desire to record both video and images began. If I had to trace it back, it would be to when I was little. My parents were always the kind of people who carried a camera or a recorder, so I’m lucky to have a lot of film records of my early years...”
Catalina Rodriguez Bertone
Capturing a unique here and now. The return to analog undoubtedly comes with many barriers, but it is one of the few things we have left that are not instantaneous. I find magic in that. With a sensitive, youthful, and nostalgic gaze, I capture my friends, moments from travels, and memories that I want to last. Photography to remember moments with the idea of being able to bring them out only once.
“I study architecture, and my fondness for art and photography is part of my personality. I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember. Since I was little, I used to grab my mom's small, used cameras and steal her compact ones to take photos on trips. Photography has always been my right hand, my tool to have it with me always. I also started a bit unintentionally, almost like playing...”
Daniel Pantarelli
Some pictures that sound like youth.
“I am a photographer, half Italian and half Brazilian, who arrived in Argentina two years ago. I am many things, and I like to do my best in what I do, but the truth is that photography is what has come into my life and brought together everything I knew and all the stories I have collected throughout my life. Everything I have always been has come together in one place, building a path...With black and white, you start to see very different things. When you look for black and white, there is a whole investigation into light, darkness, texture, and geometry. It makes you observe things differently, and what I like most about the composition is putting my body into taking the photo...”

Olas de juventud
The waves break and are born again continuously,
Trying to face them is a lost cause, and understanding this makes each of us a sensitive being.
Youth is an ambiguity between understanding that the world doesn't belong to us forever, but the strength of believing it makes us more powerful.
In the end, we understand that the purpose lies in swimming and enjoying the caress of the water on our soul.
This project is a tribute to all the moments of sincerity that made me feel that being vulnerable was worth it.
“Portraying. I think I'm currently in my years of learning, of being able to experiment. I'm trying not to limit myself to a specific genre of photography, and most of the time I take photos of moments and portraits of people..”
Jannis Feldmeier
Growing up in traffic.
Surrounded by concrete.
Lots of people, most of them strangers.
Everybody wants to go to the city.
But 200 young people from this city will meet in the countryside in summer 2019.
A festival by young people for young people.
A small circle, friends and friends of friends.
At 8 a.m. in the morning.
On a field near Berlin..
“What inspires me is reducing the prints among an only image selection. Defining only a limited number of prints, I’m able to represent a narrative with detail and precision , allowing a further vision on the visual representations...”
Juana Guiñazú
Entre la juventud y el Testimonio
Photographic footage of my journey through Europe. Between trains and oceans, the capture of the purest narratives of my dear friends in their infinite versions.
“Writing about this project is challenging for me. It involves artists and records, and exhibiting art that, while mine, has long ceased to be solely my creation.
Youth invites, embraces, and exposes. Youth revolutionizes and opens up. In creation and explosion. In calm and fight.
Youth transcends and invites community and belonging to a world that will forever be ours. Youth as the moment of spontaneity with the greatest creative force.
Thank you for being a part of it, generate spaces to exhibit what unites us...”
Julieta Sanjurjo
No duermas
Youth as a delay of time.
It is to look closely. To pause the passage of time.
To gather the debris.
“CI grew up in a context where the instantaneous is expected in a time that doesn't exist and where solitude develops in the crowd of the streets. I believe my photography is flooded by these two ideas, time and solitude. I seek stillness and tranquility alone....The saturation that characterizes this collection expresses the weight of youth. Very contrasting colors and values. Strong shadows and lights. A theoretical saturation...”
Luna Aguilar
Entre el Caos y la Calma
Capturing records of my friends and people I have met over time and across cities. Trying to show them in the most authentic moments of our youth, with the chaos and calm that it entails.
“ I find a space where I can express myself. A place where I can feel a part of and, in some way, enough. It all started as a game that led me to find a new way of looking around and paying attention to details that I hadn't noticed before.
I am fascinated by observing shadows and somewhat strange shapes so that I can play with them...When I think of youth, I can't pinpoint a specific symbol. What comes to mind is that what I capture about youth is what I experience. The majority of the people who surround me and inspire me to a certain extent...”
Luz Sanz
Entre lo Cotidiano y el Registro
Asperezas de la piel.
“When I look at my photographs, it's like I do it unconsciously. I realized that I always try to show a lot of everyday life and the common spaces we all share. It's like I'm always trying to make visible the everyday life in general, what happens to all of us, what moves us. I don't try to pigeonhole what I express into a specific type of photography because sometimes it is expressed in a more documentary way, more artistic, which also has a lot of value; it's more experimental.
When taking photos, I think about stories that relate, about being able to generate and convey emotions through that photograph...The body can be influenced by many things, both politically and socially, as it is where a person resides internally...”
Marcos Estrada
Vivencias de Ocio
A collection of photographs that seeks to capture various moments of rest and entertainment framing the youthful experience. Through a natural and authentic lens, these images reveal the purest essence of enjoyment, whether through dance, encounter, relaxation, or simply pausing for a moment. In each snapshot, the beauty of youth in its most genuine state is captured, celebrating the joy and spontaneity of fully embracing the present moment.

Tiene quién le escriba
Valentina Comercio writes about youth: "today you are in me, tomorrow in someone else." Youth as a state of transition, as a movement that captures one and then another, and in that way, connects them to each other. This connection (and its eventual disconnection) is what unites the 7 chosen photos. Pairs of encounters and disagreements. A path that, no matter how individual it may seem, is always shared: we write and receive the letters that, like in the past, the colonels are still waiting for. In the end, "although sometimes you seemed to have left / in reality, it was just a walk after which you will surprise us" .: "Ode to Youth," by Comercio, V.
“When I take photos, I want to capture, for example, a place or a space that is in contact with the present that remains today. That is, the space which remains today is in contact with the present, even if that present is disrupted by the encounter of a past space or moment...”

Oníricos
Footage that immortalize friends, giving color to life, being free and unique.

“In my photos, I find memories. The photos are an extension of what my eyes see, which has the advantage that they can be shared with more people. Looking at the photos I took transports me to the place and the day I took them. Seeing people's reactions, the people who appear in the photos, always reminds me of why I enjoy what I do. I find a mixture of seriousness and mischief, which I feel is a big part of what my life is. Being able to show my own story and perspective...What I primarily associate with youth are friends, the people who are with us and help us, consciously or unconsciously, to shape ourselves...”
Nicolás Dimopulos
Pares
With the focus on a couple of individuals in their various iterations, "pares" portrays the ups and downs of friendship. Euphoria, conflict, trust, love, the emotions that come with unconditional commitment to another, necessary for forging a lasting bond.

YOUTHS
In the remote countryside of Bangladesh, as well as in the bustling heart of Dhaka, the journey to understanding one's role is a tumultuous passage for the youth.
This quest is punctuated by a fervent zeal to be heard and a relentless thirst to carve out an existence in a world predominantly inclined towards consumption.
With voices echoing with passion and actions reflecting candor, these young individuals strive to assert their vibrance and sincerity in a landscape that often overlooks the subtleties of their dreams and aspirations.
“So I graduated from art school some time ago. So it's been some time. I learned photography in art school. And after that, I just wanted to travel. I was not thinking about taking photos or drawings or whatever. But I really wanted to travel. I wanted to travel as much as possible. In fact, right after I graduated, I promised myself to travel to different countries at least one month a year. That was when I was 20 years old, something like that. And that's what I did...”
Sofía Dimasi
A photographic proyect with Juliana Novello.
But during the pandemic, I reconnected with it. I started getting into the analog world, and one day, almost miraculously, I found a compact analog camera in my house. I bought a roll of film and started taking pictures. I took photography courses, one more theoretical and others that helped me exercise creativity and motivation....The truth is that my main goal as a photographer (and as an artist) is to convey a sensation or emotion to the viewer. My vision of art, and of life, is like that. I hate things that are empty, without emotion. That's why I often don't care as much about technique in photography, whether a photo is properly exposed or in focus...”
