- Summary
- "The corpus on which this book was worked covers more than thirty years and thousands of slides, photographs that have preserved desaturated colors of an authenticity spanning decades. Óscar is a perfectionist who has always enjoyed more the construction of his imaginaries than the achievement of a certain end. This book brings together many years of travel, observation and editing, a process that results in a capital and definitive work, a solid view of the author that manages to freeze slippery, elusive, almost ungraspable scenes; characters, streets and actions rescued from the smoke of time. They are random reincarnations of a Valparaíso that refuses to become a tourist scenario. They are not passive records: Óscar makes us perceive them as visual poems through which we reveal a mysterious atmosphere. His images are an intentional fragmentation that leads us to a totality by the path that marks its author" (HKB Translation) --Verso cover.
