Santiago de Chile  from a Visual Approach 





Santiago have a lot of cinematic potential, I study cinema so I will talk about this.

Santiago is very interesting in his visuality because, unlike another Sudamerican big cities, here the separation of the center with the periphery is very hard. In another cities there is a kind of mixture, here the dictatorship an other factors stablished the  radical separation.

This thing, aborded from the visuality it means, is very strong; just enough you get in to a micro of the transantiago (bus), and you will see the city changing his face a lot of times. This thing is big challenge to the cinematic representation, if you want to representate Santiago you have to capture this changes and this differences. This separations make the citie becoma a map of different  ideas and social imaginarys .

In my opinion, this thing, even if its a factor in comun with a lot of another cities, is one of the things that defines the visuality of this city. It defines the actions involved, the dinamycs of the whole city, his movements, the movements of the people, everithing.
