Partido – International Award Winning Photography

Aerial city landscape photography taken with drone and printed on Hahnemühle high quality paper. This aerial river photography and other urban landscape patterns are limited edition artworks and all of them come with certificate of authenticity.

On the banks of the river “Riachuelo”, on a strange peninsula formed by the district of Avellaneda, where the suburbs penetrate the capital for only a few square meters, lies the Club Victoriano Arenas. It is the home of one of the first women’s soccer teams that fought for the establishment of professional women’s soccer.

Just on the other side of the riachuelo that surrounds the peninsula is Villa 21-24, one of the most vulnerable neighborhoods in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. On one side the search for equality, on the other the crude demonstration of a society that leaves those on the edge of a polluted river, expelled by the system.

I searched for this image for almost a year until I managed to arrange a visit to the club. In my series “Coordinates of everyday life”, of which this image is a part, I as an artist want to use aerial photography as a means to question ourselves: how do we occupy spaces? Do we take possession of them or do they take possession of our behaviors?

This photograph received the 3rd Itaú Visual Arts Acquisition Award 2019-2020.
