More than 70 works by the 11 winning photographers will be exhibited from August to December at different stations of the Buenos Aires Subway Network.
“Snapshots in the Subway. A journey between day and night” will be free of charge and will be available every day, during the hours that the service is enabled, so that users can enjoy it.
With the aim of making the artistic production of its community visible and highlighting the different spaces of the Network, this Tuesday, August 27 at 10:30 a.m. Emova inaugurates the traveling exhibition “Snapshots in the Subway. A journey between day and night.”
The exhibition is part of the cultural plan of the Buenos Aires Subway network concessionaire company and will begin at the Correo Central station on Line E. The exhibition seeks to represent the different facets of the subway, both from a technical and cultural perspective, emphasizing the counterpoint between daytime and nighttime activities.
This travelling exhibition will be presented at different stations, covering all the lines and representing a different concept of the service in each one through the chosen photographs. The last stage will be inaugurated in the context of the 111th anniversary of the Subte and the third year of Emova, with photographs that show the variety of spaces, subjects, and situations that involve the subway as the protagonist of history.

“We invited professional and amateur photographers to take an exclusive tour of the Subte’s own spaces, where they could witness all the activities and processes that make daily operations possible. As a result, we developed this exhibition that gives unique visibility to their works and also allows us to connect with them.”
our users through a cultural proposal that makes the Subway a more inspiring space,” says Mariana Giacumbo, Manager of Institutional Relations and Media at Emova.
The authors of the photographs were selected through a contest that Emova held on its social networks, which allowed them to gain in-depth knowledge of daily operation spaces, cleaning and maintenance work in stations, tunnels, garages and workshops. The selection of the photographers and their works went through a curatorial process carried out by Ana Bonelli Zapata and Cecilia Gallardo.
