Congruencias

In 2015, Jim Dow and Guillermo Srodek-Hart opened their old archives of photographs and negatives with the intention of putting together a proposal for a small exhibition of the two of them. To their surprise, they discovered that they had selected an abundance of works with unmistakable similarities and significant differences. Thus began a dialogue about influences, ideas and intentions. This led them to include two more artists: the Argentine Fernando Paillet and the American Walker Evans, both of whom had an enormous impact on the work of Dow and Srodek-Hart. Congruenciasʺ is a series of juxtapositions of photographic works that seek to delineate inspirations, cultures, and time periods. The exhibited images offer different interpretations of history, nostalgia and artistic commitment, placing equal emphasis on observation and form, regardless of the simplicity of the photographed subject.
