A couple of months ago, Eugenia&#8212;a dear friend from the &#8220;<em>El Acorazado de Bolsillo<\/em>&#8221; poetry magazine&#8212;offered to let me set up a one-night show in an old house in the city of La Plata (70 km south Buenos Aires). I had no doubt about the topic: images of cemeteries. I also chose the date for the show, November 2nd, traditionally known the Day of the Dead in many Western cultures.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I had a huge amount of photos to choose from, but most of them were taken with my old BenQ camera with very low resolution &amp; I couldn&#8217;t make good large-size prints with them. But a week before the exhibition, Robert &amp; I went again to Recoleta Cemetery &amp; found a sky full of clouds, perfect for the macabre style of pics I wanted. Those photos were the core of the show.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Las Mansiones de la Noche, Marcelo Metayer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/images\/MarMansiones01.jpg\" alt=\"Las Mansiones de la Noche, Marcelo Metayer\" width=\"450\" height=\"298\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The exhibit was named &#8220;<em>Las Mansiones de la Noche<\/em>&#8221; and was a really great experience&#8230; a lot of people looking at the photos, discovering images &amp; unexpected tricks of shadow and light. It&#8217;s as if the photos weren&#8217;t mine anymore&#8230; they belonged to the beholder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Las Mansiones de la Noche, Marcelo Metayer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/images\/MarMansiones02.jpg\" alt=\"Las Mansiones de la Noche, Marcelo Metayer\" width=\"450\" height=\"298\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Now I&#8217;m trying to exhibit the pics in other places.
