The photos of the exhibition are a cut of 100 images that make up the book "Elysian Fields – history and images ". In it, the photographer records the artistic and architectural heritage of the Champs Elysees, São Paulo neighborhood where were built hundreds of houses and palaces that served as the residence of the oligarchy coffee farmers, at the end of the century 19. In the century 20, the neighborhood would arise buildings from different strands of modernist architecture and, then, metamorphoses heterogeneous characteristics of sprawl of the metropolis.
What building is this? - All photos of Juan Esteves in Elysian Fields are in black and white. For him, press the shutter button and the camera capturing the image is just the beginning. After, the photographer performs a thorough treatment of the original image and eliminates what he calls "contemporary temporal noise". The "noise" referred Esteves are elements that interfere with the view of buildings in its original architecture, as light wires, changes in facades, among others.
To do click Juan Esteves You need no more than ten or fifteen minutes, treating each picture takes about ten to twelve hours. He, which has the picture as the main specialty, says treat the buildings as if they were people. "I make the characters buildings."
When looking at the picture, It is common the viewer does not recognize even a building in front of which passes every day. You can realize then, between the real and the reconstruction made by Esteves, it is possible to see another São Paulo behind so many
interference.
“Although today's records, these my photos end up appearing to be old ", the firm Juan Esteves. "This is a paradox, a paradox look. The building is new and, at the same time, very old, as if back to the origins. "
An interesting fact is that all the pictures were taken from the point of view of those who are walking on the street, by those on the ground. "I am a walker, one flâneur”, account the photographer. "Ando compulsively the city and my gaze is constantly drawn to the details. I think that's what sets this my job. "
