Exhibition Description:

The exhibition includes a selection of photography done between 2004 and 2005. Pantin has focused particularly on the Parque Jaime Duque (Bogotà), and in the town of Falls. The buildings in the pictures are what the artist calls "hybrid Architecture". They show the local design, a mixture between the contemporary western and eastern architectural styles, seduced from their purity by decades of gold of the drug trafficking.

The images are bred from an objective reality, in which the human presence is abolished to create desolate landscapes that show generic places: inside spaces, objects, landscapes or architecture.

Curator and colombian researcher María Lovino analyzes the scenery of this artistic project: "Parque Duque represents a moment in the past in which the push to pick the glory of the kistch is combined with references to the large European culture and to its summits of power and elegance".

This series is marked with the clandestine and risky nature, always implicit in the work of Luis Objection-Pantin. "The work seems documentary, but is created with the conception dell' contemporary art. I work always under the introduction of to show the art that not art seems ", the artist says. Luis Objection-Pantin is one of the younger successful Venezuelan artists. Pantin has exhibited his photography in Venezuela, Canada, United States, Colombia, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Peru and Brazil.
