Lula photographs Fidel Castro with a Nike jacket, Maradona hugs Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, Hilary Clinton is photographed with Amid Karzai where street merchants sell footballs, Lula and Dilma celebrate a political victory like sport champions or Ahmadinejad is offered a shirt of Brazil\u2019s football team.\r\n\r\nMiguel Aguirre selected and augmented a fragment of each image in order to encounter an aesthetic and political reading where the central character of politicians is eliminated and recuperated textually through the use of the legends below each image as the title of his works.\r\n \r\nRoland Barthes\u00b4Punctum, refers to the detail which generates the totality of an image. To amplify the punctum at a natural scale brings us closer to a foreign reality and distorts the presence of the real. \r\nIn Blown Up, the selected details accentuate the dynamic between textile and body: the sport uniform covers the face while some hands hold a shirt as if it was a flag.\r\n \r\nClothes differentiate us and reveal our origin. Like the Shroud of Turin or the veil of Veronica, cloth becomes a receptor of truth. To that effect, the presented works are not painted on paper but it is the proper paint which goes through the material.\r\n\r\nThe perforations draw the punctum and the paint applied on the reverse of the paper is filtered, exposed and hidden just like clothes on the skin.\r\n\r\nConstructed from images that are industrially processed, gesture and line disappear. Paint and paper generate unpredictable imperfections. These blown ups of press photography pervert Robert Capa\u00b4s famous say \u00a8if your pictures are not good enough, you are not close enough.\u00a8 The artist, incapable to get close to the real moment, approaches the printed image in search for a dead moment.\r\n\r\nMiguel Aguirre was born in Lima, Peru in 1973. He lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. His works are in important public and private collections, such as: MALI (Peru); Micromuseo (Peru); Fundaci\u00f3n Telef\u00f3nica (Peru); Banco de Cr\u00e9dito del Per\u00fa (Peru) Fundaci\u00f3n Jos\u00e9 Ortega y Gasset (Spain); MIDE (Spain).\r\n\r\nAntoine Pierre Jean Henry Jonqu\u00e8res for the LiMAC\r\n\r\n\r\nwww.li-mac.org\u00a0<\/a>"],"_expo_description":["field_64442aea60f9a"],"expo_catalog_expo_catalog_text":[""],"_expo_catalog_expo_catalog_text":["field_6447bb26033f7"],"expo_catalog_expo_catalog_file":[""],"_expo_catalog_expo_catalog_file":["field_6447bb3f033f8"],"expo_catalog":[""],"_expo_catalog":["field_6447bac1033f6"],"gallery":[""],"_gallery":["field_6436be9722a75"],"videos":[""],"_videos":["field_644491b47cb7e"],"leme_visit":[""],"_leme_visit":["field_6436bb780169e"],"text_expo":[""],"_text_expo":["field_6436bf9def280"],"files":[""],"_files":["field_64453629d51d1"],"leme_begin":["20101116"],"_leme_begin":["field_64442ce3d3a50"],"leme_end":["20101223"],"_leme_end":["field_64442d00d3a51"],"_thumbnail_id":["51448"],"leme_artist_coletivo":["0"],"_leme_artist_coletivo":["field_649b22d81cddd"],"_uag_css_file_name":["uag-css-46664.css"],"_uag_page_assets":["a:9:{s:3:\"css\";s:263:\".uag-blocks-common-selector{z-index:var(--z-index-desktop) !important}@media (max-width: 976px){.uag-blocks-common-selector{z-index:var(--z-index-tablet) !important}}@media (max-width: 767px){.uag-blocks-common-selector{z-index:var(--z-index-mobile) !important}}\n\";s:2:\"js\";s:0:\"\";s:18:\"current_block_list\";a:7:{i:0;s:11:\"core\/search\";i:1;s:10:\"core\/group\";i:2;s:12:\"core\/heading\";i:3;s:17:\"core\/latest-posts\";i:4;s:20:\"core\/latest-comments\";i:5;s:13:\"core\/archives\";i:6;s:15:\"core\/categories\";}s:8:\"uag_flag\";b:0;s:11:\"uag_version\";s:10:\"1776444491\";s:6:\"gfonts\";a:0:{}s:10:\"gfonts_url\";s:0:\"\";s:12:\"gfonts_files\";a:0:{}s:14:\"uag_faq_layout\";b:0;}"],"_seopress_search_console_analysis_clicks":["0"],"_seopress_search_console_analysis_ctr":["0"],"_seopress_search_console_analysis_impressions":["6"],"_seopress_search_console_analysis_position":["6.1666666666667"]},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/blown-up-2010-72.jpg",1200,900,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/blown-up-2010-72-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/blown-up-2010-72-300x225.jpg",300,225,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/blown-up-2010-72-768x576.jpg",640,480,true],"large":["https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/blown-up-2010-72-1024x768.jpg",640,480,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/blown-up-2010-72.jpg",1200,900,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/blown-up-2010-72.jpg",1200,900,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Cheyenne","author_link":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/expo\/46664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/expo"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/expo"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/expo\/46664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"expo_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerialeme.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/expo_year?post=46664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
