A new photo project seeks to
preserve the memory of the traditional Buenos Aires stores. A photographer Gustavo
Sancricca and graphic designer Luciana Guerrero captured on camera the most
relevant places of the Porteño identity. Though some of these stores may
disappear, the memory will remain in the pictures. The city is not only what
you see but what you remember from it.
The Stores Project (Proyecto
Locales) is on Facebook since 2009 proposing a travel through time and
space, to a Buenos Aires that you might never see again. The front of the
stores, those small details that make them unique, the owners, the people
behind the counters, a new original and artistic approach to the history of our
city.
Places like the chocolate shop
“Corso” (443 Maipú St), “Amalia” sheets store (1247 Arenales St), Los Angelitos
Café (in the corner of Rivadavia Ave and Rincón St), Férnandez Blanco Library
(712 Tucumán St), Glenmore house (2176 Sucre St), Otzakian iron work (727
Pueyrredón Ave), among others, are now in the photographic memory of Buenos
Aires. Come visit Buenos Aires a discover these great spaces for yourself.
