PROPOSALS PERFORMACE / ACTION & EXHIBITION PROPOSAL No. 1 ::::::::::: Touring through the blind city by Aleha SOLANO ::::::::::::::::: Exhibition of photographs categorized with line cityscapes, as dialogically, become exponents of taste for capturing a subjective look of the streets of Bogota and at the same time promote a hedonistic approach to the whispers that many ignore this stunning city. LINK OF ALBUM: It's possible to choose some pictures to show in print, though I thought more like an audiovisual installation, filling the air with sound maps of the city, where interaction exists between the photographs, motion, color & the spectators https://www.facebook.com/aleha.solano/media_set? set=a.10202308293081683.1073741961.1022171925&type=3 BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THE AUTHOR & DESCRIPTION TEXT: "I feel good among the marginalized, because I'm an outcast. I do not like the laws, neither moral nor religious or rules. I hate to be shaped by society. "Bukowski AlehaSolano (Bogotรก, 1980) Urban researcher. She has decided to make reprocessing those moments in the life of the Bogota streets using the subjective element as a leitmotif. This book takes a photo essay capturing, striving to magnify, even with comic resources, the condition of the inhabitants of street microworlds interrelated. Her photography can appreciate daily routine that, for many, has become an extension of everyday life. Here are narrated & always describe degraded realities, reflecting the monstrosity of certain areas of Latin American cities, in this case, Bogotรก. Likewise, continuous variations on recurring themes as the forgotten corners of the city, tones of urban smog & hyperrealism of Bogotanian counterculture are evident. This is a serie that by its dialogic nature lends itself to a perversely attractive, strong & tease reading. Thanks for the display of new looks of the place we inhabit: The City.
