P[í]caro

By Juan Pablo Iñiguez

Observing is a disruptive act because it paints, imposes, and forces ideas and feelings onto the subjects it captures. Yet that unabashed observation of the world is what turns a rebellious act into a moralizing one. The Spanish word Pícaro seizes the essence of this visual archive, of a cunning nature and unconventional. Here, the trails left in the air by fleeting moments are observed and pieced together to convey something once lived that still lingers.
