Description
DÉFENSE D'AFFICHER
Book Summary
This work is the result of the confluence of a desire, a time, and a city: that of capturing street life through photography. The author, Patricio Rodríguez García, invites us on a visual journey through the public space, where the image becomes a testimony to the ephemeral and the everyday. A book that combines the photographer's sensitivity with a critical view of the urban environment, offering the reader a collection of snapshots that reveal the poetry hidden in the seemingly banal.
What is it about?
The book focuses on the photographic exploration of street life, understood as a constantly transforming stage. Through a series of images, the author documents gestures, objects, signs, and situations that often go unnoticed, but which make up the visual identity of a city. The work not only collects photographs but reflects on the very act of looking and recording, on the tension between the public and the private, and on how photography can capture fleeting moments that would otherwise be lost. It is, in essence, a visual diary of the city and its inhabitants.
