Paisaje Efimero is the collection of 49 photographs taken showing the historical Colonial City during the four months of strict curfews for the Covid-19 pandemic. There is not a single person in the pictures.
Chilean photographers Erika Santelices and Orlando Barria took to photograph the Colonial City at the start of the pandemic when the solitude of the streets added a very different feeling. The exhibition at the Alliance Francais in Santo Domingo is part of the Festival Internacional Bienal Photoimagen 2022 and is open through 8 October 2022.
Orlando Barria is an EFE news photographer who had a special permit to circulate during the quarantine days. He captured the streets and monuments of the historic city center when without the usual police, cars or people in general.
The exhibit is open at the Alianza Francesa at Calle Horacio Vicioso 103, in the Centro de los Heroes. It is open Monday to Friday from 8 to 6pm and Saturdays from 8am to 1pm.
