Summary
Artist Marcos López (Argentina 1958) intervenes more than 60 vintage photographs (some by the author himself and others found in antique dealers), that he kept in a box, expressing the fears and ghosts present during the COVID-19 pandemic. Medieval devils and monsters painted and intervened by hand over analogic photographs of families, individuals, marriages or Catholic First Communions represent his own emotional, cultural and identity traumas: repression, fear and lifelong commitment. "With the pandemic the equation of painting old photos and staying inside my house was the perfect excuse to create this series." (HKB Translation) --Page [3]
