[EN] In 1979, Miguel Ángel Rojas [Bogotá, 1946] carried out an extensive photographic project attempting to portrait the homosexual encounters taking place inside certain movie theaters in Bogota. By only using the precarious light conditions emanating from the movie screen, the long exposures of each photograph created blurry, gestural and uncanny images that revealed the minimal indication of sexual activity. Each of the 65 black and white photographs that compose the series, disrupts the viewer’s voyeuristic gaze by maintaining the clandestine and anonymous atmosphere of these encounters. Together with the artist, six photographs were chosen from the Faenza project. The majority of this selection, contain small phrases superimposed by Rojas to describe these theaters as an architecture of desire… a laboratory of erotica, or in his words as an 'Anthropophagy in the city'. - I.G.
