About the Book
They stare at us , embrace us, always smiling. Feeling with us ... for us.
Being a candidate is acting out a character that has been constructed. Looking like a president, a senator, a suitable candidate, more than being one. "Elections" shows the brightness of the appearance, what we need to see in them: their eternal smile, that gesture saying that everything will be alright...over and over again. After all, that glitter we want to see in these people is nothing more than a reflection of our whishes and uncertainties.
"Elections" is a series produced between 2011 and 2014 covering several elections held in Argentina, as a documentation of campaign posters, poses and messages in political propaganda. All this time, the series has been reworked showing the different stages that we have gone through, every time.
Through an approach to the texture and its decomposition, it reveals the deterioration of the images and political messages at election time.
