Arthropology is a study of NYC art world "fauna" through candid shots taken by a participant-observer out in the field. This is a game of form, colour, and the poetics of chance. Art objects are not the primary subject. Indeed, artworks become one more fixture in the environment, often forming part of the background. Despite being mediated by photography, the aura of these works (which in a few cases are extremely well known) continues to be powerful: the viewer needs to slow down and look closely in order to formally analyze the image and see what is actually happening. There certainly are moments of humor and irony. In some pictures gallery-goers (the fauna, that is) "melt" into the works of art. In others, elements of institutional critique emerge--such as the waiter next to Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans or the man looking at the Sarah Charlesworth's womanless dress. The sequence of the images is not casual; some work in pairs, some in trios... It is up to the viewer to discover the relationship between them. This is Arthropology, NYC fauna amidst its flora, in its natural habitat.

Artropología es un estudio de la <<fauna>> del mundo del arte en la ciudad de Nueva York a través de fotografías espontáneas. Un juego de color y formas en el que el arte pasa a ser el fondo. En algunas instantáneas, el aura de las obras es tal que no puede ser ese fondo, a menos que nos paremos a analizar formalmente la composición de lo que pasa alrededor de estas piezas maestras.  Ahí da comienzo el juego: quedan por descubrir grandes dosis de humor e ironía. En algunas imágenes el espectador se funde con el fondo. En otras, lo hace, pero ni tan siquiera lo mira. También podemos encontrar una mirada desde la crítica institucional, como en el caso del camarero junto a las latas Campbell o en el del hombre que mira el vestido sin cuerpo, pero con formas de mujer. Las fotos están encadenadas y hay que descubrir la relación de pares, tríos... Fauna entre la flora, en su hábitat natural.
