Roller Coaster Manhattan

One day, María José Romero took a city by assault. At a prudent distance, in Bushwick (a half-dead industrial area), when Manhattan looked elsewhere, Maria José captured the shadow of New York. Others say that what was taken were fragments of the silhouette, but it was not so: there is in the drawings that were exhibited inside the factory space, something with movement: the drawings on paper are also air, the dark air, black soot —the footprint of mechanical movement.

Over the space where María José kept (drew) her captive Manhattan she looked at us on the terrace. It was without shade, without soot, clean as a girl out of the water.
