Eschewing linear narration, the series privileges rhythm and juxtaposition, transforming perception itself into a medium. What emerges is not merely a record of urban transit, but a "twilight atlas"—a slow, patient unfolding of time, matter, and relation where the everyday reveals its latent architectures and absence is elevated to a state of resonance. Each triptych functions as a "translatorial" device, anchoring the artist’s "States of Vigil" (Estados de Vigilia) across the metropolitan fabric. From the industrial remnants of 2022 to the synthetic triads of 2025, the work operates as an expansive archive of "minimal whiteness" and "tactile oxidation." By grouping these images in threes, Lloveras creates a modular epistemic system that resists the totalizing gaze of traditional architectural photography.
The "Trienal Urbanas" stands as a monumental project of "socioplastic" documentation, spanning five distinct sequences and hundreds of photographic triptychs. This long-term investigation traces a psycho-geographic cartography of fragility, where ordinary objects, vacant interstitial spaces, and ephemeral gestures are meticulously reconfigured into visual constellations. Instead, the "Urbanas" series invites a rhizomatic reading, where the friction between frames generates a new symbolic axis—a cartography that maps not just the physical city, but the emotional and conceptual drift of the modern inhabitant. The cumulative power of these five triennials reinforces the "barbecho" logic of Lloveras’s practice—a cyclical process of observation, fallow periods, and distillation. This "patient unfolding" allows for the "polinización cruzada" (cross-pollination) of visual data across a decade of work. From the foundational "Urbanas LLLL" to the high-contrast sequences of "Trienal V," the project remains a definitive meta-documentary on the nature of contemporary proximity and the persistent vigil of the urban soul.
