"The works of Raquel Bigio thus become translations, transfigurations and transubstantiations. Firstly, because they´re metaphors; secondly, because each of these works assumes a change of iconic sign; and, thirdly, because they also involved an alteration, a change of realities and presences. In fact, Raquel Bigio´s translation (or version) of the buildings at which she points her camera implies a change of meaning, not merely because she uses the plasticity of arquitecture as the source of the plasticity in her photographs, but also because she appropiates architecture for the sake of another art form." Jorge Glusberg, director of National Museum of Fine Arts, Buenos Aires, 1997
