Exposición Fotográfica "El Arte de la Construcción" - Photography Exhibition: "El Art
On the occasion of inauguration of the Exhibition Hall of the Cámara Chilena de la Construcción (CCHC) in Temuco, we prepared a photographic project. Its purpose and my idea as a concept were to show the construction of the Region (La Araucanía) from a human and technological point of view, making it to identify with the region. I tried to show this idea in a work that took me approximately 3 months. I had to visit many construction works in which I took more than 5 thousand photos, from I choose only 35. During the process of this project, I thought about what to show, how to do it and how to connect everything. I was observing every detail, especially the incorporation of women in all the construction works (what before was almost unbelievable, today is normal).
I could also see many differences in terms of technology and security regarding what was the construction a couple decades ago. The way the projects are developed is very different. But there is something that does not change: creativity, the ability to solve how we apply the concepts in the different jobs. It is an art, the art of construction. Jean Pierre Boudon.
