The marketplace as a space of cultural and audiovisual production

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe and analyse the galleries or market places, fruit stores and popular markets, to find common and differential factors, based on its aesthetic, chromatic and objective characteristics, recognizing its importance for the cultural preservation, as a reflection for the identity and costumes of each place. Galleries or market places, as fruit stands and popular markets, allow an encounter with our local, national and Latin-American identity; each city beholds those spaces that offer a picture about who we are and where we are. This analysis, from of a morphologic approach, is supported by a series of photographic registers, with almost 1500 images, from various places in Colombia, with some complementary explorations, performed in the United States and Panama, to identify particular elements on each place, trough its common and differential factors.
