OBJETS VOLÉS 
(OU JAMAIS RETOURNÉS)




Buenos Aires, January 2019
PHOTOGRAPHY & ART 



Inspired in duchamps attitude of finding art objects in the everyday life (objet trouvee) This series of still lifes were made by the capricious desire for what is not yours. We gathered some objects silently and carefully taken without permission/ stolen, borrowed and never returned of our own and from friends in Buenos Aires. These objects are a symbol of what we like so much that it has to be ours, that feeling of that which is so spectacular that can’t be of anynobody else. In these portraits we immortalize these treasures to share their beauty with everyone, because they deserve it and because we all have something that does not belong to us.

Sorry, thank you, I love you.
Sofia and Delfina
