The Centro Cultural de España based in Buenos Aires presents Viví. Women with a present life, exhibition by argentine photographer Néstor Díaz, a series of portraits of brave women.
“Viviana was my wife. She died following a breast cancer when she was 35 years old.
The series of portraits Viví. Women with a present life is an homage to her, to her struggle, and to all those women who put up a fight, and who continue to do so, against this illness.
At the same time it aims to generate a space for thoughts and to the awareness of that for the time being, the single most effective weapon of fight against breast cancer is early diagnosis.
The portraits are strong and provocative. These women, looking into our eyes, tell us who they are, and how they live today, they tell us of their fears and their demons. But at the same time they courageously exhibit their breasts, in some cases mutilated, in a clear attempt to accept their new reality, helping us discover and value the existence of a different beauty, more authentic and more profound.”
