The instant, a concept that configures a singular experience, is closely linked to photography. It is a form that alludes to capture, to prowess. With the development of the industry, Kodak popularized the idea of snapshot and, later, the French photographer, Cartier Bresson, popularized this concept with his memorable "Decisive Moment", that articulation of time, space and sensitivity, pillars of many of the generations of photojournalists who followed his legacy of ubiquity. However, from .efímera, and through this first volume, we are committed to dismantling or reconfiguring those moments that were inscribed in the story of History, through words.
Snapshots is a correspondence. A dialogue between the person who produces an image and offers it to the world, so that others can activate it. From the list of the 100 most influential photographs in history, published by Time magazine, we decided to select events with which we felt identified. We did away with photography and composed a new image, less direct and more evocative of what our past was.
