REPARO
In the oasis of silence in the hectic city center, on Tres Sargentos Street, there is a rite of passage between brick towers from 1900 and mirrored towers from the 21st century.
Reparo, this is the experience of walking uphill, hypnotized by the skies and their fragments, between art and architecture.
It is a shelter from the sun that gathers and protects us, or a shelter from the wind that simply spreads into the sky.
A specific place created from the intersections of a chain that supports a sen- sitive plot that houses and accompanies, created entirely from discarded re- cycled materials.
In collaboration with urban plastic collectors and in the interplay between Mar- tin’s textile art and Guillermo’s constitutive and regenerative mechanics, repa- ro takes straight and odd paths. It is located in the space left by the shadow in the sky and dances with the wind.
The work is inaugurated during the first edition of the festival Microcentro Cuen- ta. The artists transformed the street Tres Sargentos in a chain of recycled materials that accompanied the pedestrian with their shadow.
Microcentro Cuenta aims to articulate and generate its own artistic, cultural, social and gastronomic networks to form interconnected common agendas and promote their developments in a strategic and coordinated way, providing a comprehensive experience for those who live, visit and pass through the Mi- crocentro area.
The units of this work are created from the fusion of a single material in different formats. This material is plastic recycled by organizations of recyclers in the city of Buenos Aires and made into bags, threads and microspheres.
All these elements were combined and fused in a hot stamping machine to obtain the parts that make up this urban installation.
