Fortunately that's still there but the palette of feelings was enriched the colors of yesteryear were mixed with some very new ones the profile of the architecture was greened. Perhaps he was always there waiting for his turn behind the melancholy air that seemed to placate streets and avenues squares and half-lit passages. Or in any case that is the spirit with which Hugo Caligaris and Laura Linares toured it. Eyes wide open camera in hand to retain what the image explains better than words and a natural disposition to be surprised. The result is a book that discovers another Buenos Aires more diverse and rich with its legends and curiosities with its truths revealed in a spring light. The gaze is not innocent because you can never walk through the city itself in a candid way and yet these pages show us the neighborhoods of always as if they had just been reborn yesterday. The unusual is twinned with the usual and that harmony is traversed with precision and stealth with untimely moments with outbursts of humor with moments of stillness and contemplation. That is to say with the inimitable elegance of a cat spiritual guide of Caligaris and Linares a shadow that precedes them in the labyrinth and leads them haughty and a little indifferent from mystery to happiness.</p><p>Includes many full-color photographic images</p> Edhasa paperback
