Markus Uhr, THE TRUTH, Buenos Aires 2018
The picture was taken in Buenos Aires in "my street". Only two blocks away from Casa de la Suiza, where I was allowed to live and work for six months as part of an artist residence. I surely walked past the car that had been in the same place for over 6 months a hundred times. Always visually overwhelmed – distracted by something. The street was alive day and night. Until my eye glued to that door on another sunny day.

Note di Sguardi
is a local-international project conceived by Giovanna Sarti. Starting from district Zona 1 in Cervia, it connects like a rhizome with districts of other cities: in its first edition these are S. Stefano in Bologna and Berlin-Pankow. From September 2020 on, 36 posters are shown in public space in the three participating cities, created by 36 international artists who currently live there. Three artists are presented parallel for one month each. Invited by Giovanna Sarti for Cervia, Gino Gianuizzi for Bologna, and Eva Scharrer for Berlin, each artist was asked to select an image from their photo archive, which captures afleeting moment and is of specfic meaning to them.
