En nuestro afán de viajar, hoy descubrimos los edificios más emblemáticos de medio mundo a través de los ojos y los trazos de Stephen Wiltshire, artista inglés a quien la naturaleza ha dado el don de reproducir cualquier paisaje –principalmente arquitectónico- con tan solo verlo una vez y por unos pocos segundos.
Colonia, Alemania
La primera ocasión en la que mostró públicamente su memoria fotográfica fue con 13 años en la BBC, dibujando detalle por detalle la catedral de Salisbury, que sólo había visto una vez. Ahora Stephen tiene 42 años y se dedica a viajar a lo largo del planeta reproduciendo sus edificios más emblemáticos con tan solo necesidad de un lienzo, un rotulador y música soul de los 70 y los 80.
