Summary
Cartagena, a vibrant city in Colombia, stands proud and preserved as in its best days as a colonial port that at the time was of great importance to merchants and pirates who besieged it with complete cruelty. Its cobbled streets and colonial walls become a captivating threshold, where the inside and the outside intertwine their stories and bring them to the present as a virtual reality.
A constructed metaphor of the past and the present.
Colombia, 2020

Cartagena, a vibrant city in Colombia, stands proud and preserved as in its best days as a colonial port that at the time was of great importance for the merchants and pirates who besieged it with total brutality. Its cobblestone streets and colonial walls become a captivating threshold, where the inside and the outside intertwine their stories and bring them to the present as a virtual reality.

The gates of Babylon stand majestically, like immutable guardians of a vast urban labyrinth. Like a photographic image, they capture the spirit of the city in a single moment, revealing the constant swing between inside and outside.
