Buenos Aires, another view

For three years, I've tried to paint a portrait of a different Buenos Aires, far removed from the usual tourist "clichés". During my travels in Buenos Aires, I produced these chronicles with reports, photos, interviews and videos, of singular characters and exceptional businesses.

In all these projects, I found a common characteristic: the extraordinary human quality of the participants, characterized by great creativity, generosity, dynamism, positivity, openness and social sensitivity. It is these chronicles that I have gathered together under the title "Buenos Aires, another look".

DE MON BALCONChroniques d'un confinement parisienPhilippe ENQUINPreambleFrançois MORELPrefaceAlain KLEINMANNThe man walking maskedIt's hard to analyze an image, just as it's hard to explain poetry. We look at this reclining man crossing the street, we look at his black clothes, his black tie, his black moccasins, his black gloves, his light hat with a black headband, we look at this tree trunk without branches or leaves... A symbolic explosion occurs, that's what counts, what I'm commenting on here is almost unimportant, the important thing is what we can't say, because the power of the image escapes the language of words.Death walks on the pedestrian strips, respecting the rules, killing is his right. The Raven walks, in Paris, Buenos Aires, Rome, Madrid, Prague... A universal image, the Raven walks in a world decimated by the plague of the Covid Raven of Carnival... That's what this photo evokes in me, the emotion of seeing this gentleman in a hurry to attend a masked ball in Venice, carnival as a staging of the world, the ball of life, of the passage from one to another. In each of you, the symbolic force of this image will illuminate in its own way, draw its own path, mobilize your own feelings. It will undoubtedly remain as one of the symbolic images of the troubled times in which we live, black and black, like the man crossing the street.José MuchnikPoet and anthropologistThis text is to be found in De mon balcon
