Since I was a child I experienced a fascination for that previous city. Maybe because my grandparents talked it with nostalgia. I do not know exactly, but without realizing it I began to collect memories of a city that I did not live, but that I imagined, through photos and paintings that survived the fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over time this whole wheel that turned, activated some mechanism and when I realized it, I was restoring photographs from more than a century ago. Giving life and color to those original black and white photos. This is how the book was born "Guayaquiil, Color Stories<\/a>\u201dAnd so it was that I myself was able to get closer to that century-old city, to that Old Guayaquil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But something else happened in the middle of the process of making this work. I came across an old video. That was an augmented reality of that city full of statues that the photos transmit to us. It was a city in motion, they were not actors representing a scene from the last century, they were real people being themselves. It gave me chills to observe behaviors and customs so similar to those of today. I was fascinated, so I decided to use a process similar to the photographs in the book I published and apply it to the film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
