Ricardo Armas

de Ariel Jiménez

This fourth photobook, besides proposing a selection of the best "shots" of Ricardo Armas Ponce (Caracas, Venezuela 1952), once again shows that in him the act of photographing and reflecting many times can go together, to the point of incurring often in the temptation of the self-portrait and the registration of the places that are most significant. It could be said that almost all photographers, seduced by documentation, do something like that, but in the case of Armas it seems that he is making a mythology around himself, where the city of New York and its multiple seductions are a recurring reference.
