"... Buenos Aires, a town of wild dogs, a villa, tango and football... there is a chaos and seduction in such a junky and hip town. Yet, its atmosphere makes me feel a nostalgia that brings to mind of times gone by... A shady and fishy town, with bands of wild dogs, a mixed breed of people and indigenous music, such a town is undoubtedly sexy..." (Daido Moriyama, 2004/2005).


Having visited Buenos Aires twice, Moriyama captured with his lens its streets and people - its climate all that he has been longing for some time.


Exhibition: July 8 - August 6, 2005
Opening hours: Tues-Sat 11 am - 7 pm
