Eliseo Miciu Nicolaevici • Isaías Miciu Nicolaevici
S.M. de los Andes
2014
This work is a tribute from its authors to the city where they both grew up, this town in the foothills of the Andes that offers many attractions and activities to its visitors. Eliseo and Isaias know each and every one of them extremely well, and they have been able to portray this environment in photographs that immediately place you in this wonderful mountain town and invite you to experience it.
...Colors make up the undeniable language of these landscapes; shutter speed to capture the fleeting present moment, which immediately turns into past and which will only become future in the images patiently and relentlessly captured by Eliseo and Isaías... The thing is that, sometimes, trade and tools need to walk the fields and linger or run, anticipating the lights of the sunset or waiting for the nighttime shimmers. Running after some deer or unbroken herd, under the rain or in the middle of the desert, airborne or underwater. Being there. Arrows shot with a certain aim, art and life inheritance of a known path now followed with personal traction. They go about our area, Patagonia and the world, trying to rescue the signs of divine touch... (Mariela Bonzano – Preface to the book San Martín de los Andes: Aldea de Montaña).
