Description
Cuando el Enjambre Calla (When the Swarm Falls Silent) is a visual essay exploring the silent, vigilant concentration of power that defines a city's financial heart.
Using the architecture and streetscapes of Buenos Aires as its stage, this collection of photographs captures the tension inherent in these urban centers. The images speak to the surveillance, control, and immense power that reside in these spaces.
The essay focuses on the moments when the human "swarm" has receded—leaving the centers seemingly empty, yet revealing a palpable, explicit tension. These are not simply vacant places; they are non-places of absolute authority, where the air itself seems to hum with latent force, waiting for the swarm to return and reactivate the grid of global capital.
