The Buenos Aires Line, an original project by Portuguese artist Pedro Cabrita Reis, aims to surprise the city dwellers that go along Figueroa Alcorta Avenue with the inertia of their everyday routine. As a result of the artist's action, this landscape is altered by the intervention on one of the area's architectural landmarks: the building of the School of Law of the Universidad de Buenos Aires. Its monumental architecture, which seeks to represent the sturdiness of the law and its study in the form of a classic oversized temple, appears broken, unsettled by a sharp 50-metre diagonal built with the materials that symbolically allude again to the law: iron and light. This intervention not only seeks to disrupt everyday inertia, but also to interfere with what we take for granted in order to trigger a critical gaze.
