Thinking the city
The call “Pensar la Ciudad” (Thinking the City) called on emerging artists to reflect and dialogue on the contemporary city through their work, offering unique perspectives on their real experiences, research and desires, from a critical awareness. The initiative sought to give voice to visions that offered a new reading of urban landscapes and societies.

In 2022, together they began the research that would later become ‘Urdimbre: morphologies and identity in public space’, an experimental video essay on human behaviour and conditioning in the public sphere. Both projects toured independent exhibitions and festivals in Buenos Aires, being presented in the fourth edition of the Muestra Magma (2022), in the first Amorina Cine Bar short film festival (2023) and in the 12th edition of Cajeta de Pandora (2023). Recently, Di Giacomo premiered ‘Repercusión’, an animated short film, at the second edition of the Ezeiza Film Festival. Acevedo also presented his latest project ‘Periferias’ at the Vereda Sur festival. ‘Urdimbre’ explores how lines, paths and forms in public space reflect a continuous network of circulation. Motivated by visual curiosity, the team identified an analogy between wool fabrics and public spaces, where constant mobility induces a forward-moving behaviour without the possibility of stopping or retreating without breaking the flow. This phenomenon in ‘non-places’ – impersonal, automated spaces – leads to a loss of individual identity. The project seeks to reclaim these urban spaces, promoting an active and conscious connection with them.’
