VESTIGES OF OUR TIMES
A project set on discovering what history and time have made of street paintings.
The chronic of a research and a reunion with the visual memory of the streets. The paintings and signs on building's facades recount the recent history of a place, an intimate and emotional take on our childhood and path through life. Memory spins around itself, but it requires of mirrors and windows to stay on the move, all in order to keep reinventing itself. Through the strappo technique, used by anthropologists and archaeologists to detach and restore mural paintings from walls, Romero gives us that possibility.
COLLECTIONS
There are cities hiding things that nobody sees; instead of looking at something more spectacular, Romero focuses on what goes unnoticed, but has been there for a long time. The following art collections are an aesthetic approach to the clothing of a city that, like any other space, became a place that turned into a memory.
