Automatic Garage: Book release and photo exhibition by Felipe Russo

Between 1960 and 1980 thirty-four automatic garage buildings where constructed in São Paulo’s downtown district. In this series of photographs, video and audio extracts I look at the interior of these machines. I search for an encounter with this mechanical body, a prototypical garage, the machine that stores machines. The images invite us to travel through this body and its atmosphere. The space created can amplify the experience and possibility of meaning of this interiors.They become an imagined parallel chamber inhabited by the traces of time, use and the machines that operate in this interior.
