About the Item

AP 1 Signed, titled, dated and numbered. Gum print From Salamone series "In 1998 and 2001 I travelled around the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina) with the purpose of making a photographic survey on Architect Francisco Salomone's buildings. His work, developed between 1936 and 1940, in approximately twenty-five towns and cities of the province, was compliant with the plan of Manuel Fresco’s conservative government, which aimed at building slaughter houses, cemeteries, and town halls in several areas of his jurisdiction. My interest towards this issue was first aroused in 1997 by a documentary exhibition held at Borges Cultural Centre. In it, the art critic Edward Shaw presented information on the majority of Salomone's production. Fascinated by the symbolic implications of this building program -symbols that enter the political, historical, literary and, in general, ideological grounds- I made the decision of exploring this architecture by means of the photographic media. Salomone's work is a monumental and wonderfully creative expression of a style in which Art Deco and Rationalism merge. In my view, and analyzing it from the perspective given by the current situation, his task as official architect shows the failure of a country's project. Although Fresco's management was quite successful, behind his ambitious urban program, the failure of the rich agricultural and farming Argentina utopia became apparent once again. And this failure broadens the gap between that fiction we still believe in, and the reality we are not yet determined to accept." - Esteban Pastorino Diaz Esteban Pastorino Diaz was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1972. In the early 1990’s he studied as an engineer planning to join his father’s gunsmith business. After the death of his father and the sale of the family business, Esteban pursued his passion for art combining his engineering studies. Over more than two decades, Esteban has exhibited in solo and group shows in galleries and museums around the globe. Major international museums have collected his work including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Museum of Modern Art, Buenos Aires. While participating in an artist residency in Greece, he started his KAP series. This aerial series was performed with a hand-made camera attached to a kite. The shutter was triggered by remote control. Later, as in the Las Ventas series, he no longer used a kite, which remained a tedious, time-consuming method. His technique changed by photographing from a high perspective with the lens producing short depth of field. Currently Esteban Pastorino has been working on panoramic images made with a hand constructed stereo panoramic camera. This camera is able to turn 360 degrees on a tripod. Or it can remain stationary while moving in a car or having the subject pass by the camera. In June 2011 he made the longest single photograph negative, 129 feet, 8.5 inches, depicting almost 2 miles of Buenos Aires. He was awarded the Guinness World Record for creating the longest photographic negative, which measured 39.54 meters or 129 feet and 8.69 inches in length. A retrospective of his work will soon be exhibited (2017) at the Recoleta Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, which will include a 72 image circular stereoscope, 4.5 feet in diameter.
