Espejos Urbanos – Otra forma de mirar Buenos Aires

One of Castiglione’s photographic series, Espejos Urbanos – Otra forma de mirar Buenos Aires (Urban Mirrors, a different way to see Buenos Aires) comprises works which are a singular tour along the architectural landmarks of the fifteen districts of the city of Buenos Aires. The author decided to capture buildings, bridges and monuments through their reflections on water, ponds, fountains or just puddles. The stated intent behind this series is to provide an alternative view of Buenos Aires in order to highlight often overlooked views and events, as well as to encourage preservation of the unique character of the city.

First exhibited in the Honor Hall at the Legislative Palace of the city of Buenos Aires (2012), the photographs toured the city along places such as the Museum of Architecture and Centro Cultural Recoleta (2013). In 2014 the exhibition visited several museums and art galleries in Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Florianopolis in Brazil. In 2015 it was displayed in New York and Atlanta in the USA and 2016 was the turn of Miami, USA and Milan, Italy.
