About New York – Chimneys

“This series was all done in New York where I lived for five months in 1985. New York is not an easy place to photograph since it has been exhaustively registered from all angles for decades. In the end what finally caught my eye were its chimneys. Why hadn’t these structures that invade the New York sky painting it with fumes hadn’t been portrayed yet? Also what took me to them were the paintings of Italian surrealist Giorgio de Chirico I saw at the MoMA. In some of his tableaux you can see a chimney tailgated by an oblique lighting, exactly the same type of light I saw that winter in New York, so different from the abundant tropical light my eyes were accustomed to. (…) Not only painting but the movie and music also influence my photographs. All these artistic manifestations constantly instigate my visual repertoire.”
