“I'd
rather want everything and have nothing, than have everything and want nothing.
Because at least when you want something your life has a meaning: it's
worthwhile. From the moment you think you have everything, you have to search
for meaning in other things. I spent half my life wanting everything and having
nothing; and now I have everything and I don't want anything”. Vik Muniz
Walking
through the PINTA Art Fair was similar to drifting in between South
America , Spain
and Portugal
Implications of certain series of events occuring in these countries, were concealed
in the displayed artworks.
Extraordinary
artists illustrated all angles of their countries of origin, culture and social
struggles that affect the population.
Brazilian
photographers displayed particular pictures, documenting the less fortunate and
disadvantaged communities that are on
the increase , with Spanish being spoken by the majority of attendees.
The ambience
was gorged with energy and the entire art on display seemed to echo this strong
message: “This is only the beginning and
this is our time…. NOW! ”.
