Michele Molinari lived for a few years in Recoleta, an aristocratic neighborhood that still keeps something of the old Frenchified past that the upper bourgeoisie treasured. And from there, from a permanent window and a fixed camera, he could assess the two qualities of the Buenos Aires sky: first, its fidelity and permanence — there are cities that make their skies disappear by vertigo and inclemency — and then, its absolute variety, resistant to all attempts of uniformity and custom. The great porteño sky is always there and is always different. – Ivonne Bordelois
