Les arcs de 1970

"Les arcs de" is a 1970 photograph by Romanian artist Gherasim Luca, known for his avant-garde work. The image is a photomontage depicting a large aqueduct, possibly in Brazil, as the main subject. The aqueduct is presented in a classic style with strong light and shade, while the lower portion features a smaller photo of a man working a projector, reminiscent of early photography practices. The overall effect suggests a commentary on the relationship between technological advancement and the permanence of architecture, highlighting the evolution of imagery over time.
