Cobran texturas de blanco y negro, sean de acero o de cedro anillado, sobre el ladrillo sucio de la Costa Este. Coronan calles cinematogr\u00e1ficas, asoman sobre las alambradas que salta el ratero en fuga, ejercen de Sancho rechoncho junto a las quijotescas banderas estadounidenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son peque\u00f1os monstruos erguidos y solitarios en la ciudad de las multitudes. Est\u00e1n ah\u00ed desde hace m\u00e1s de un siglo, dispersas por el skyline, renov\u00e1ndose cada treinta a\u00f1os, para regular la presi\u00f3n excesiva con la que llega el suministro de agua que viene del norte del Estado. Parecen anacr\u00f3nicas y son imprescindibles. Esto es Am\u00e9rica, y el negocio de las torres de agua deja millones de d\u00f3lares cada a\u00f1o, el mejor argumento contra su extinci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unos dicen que hay 10.000 recort\u00e1ndose sobre el cielo de New York, otros que m\u00e1s de 15.000 siguen dando servicio \u2014y sabor\u2014 a la ciudad, como las torres de los armadores se la dieron a C\u00e1diz. Sea una u otra cifra la m\u00e1s exacta, no se pueden fotografiar todas. Eso es lo mejor, saberlas una estad\u00edstica cambiante y misteriosa, toparse con ellas, rastrearlas, darles caza. Y so\u00f1ar con el correr del agua tuber\u00edas abajo hacia duchas aptas para el asesinato o el sexo vertical, grifos de m\u00fasico de jazz, manguera de terraza vieja, jarras de caf\u00e9s para oficinistas humillados y escritores a m\u00e1quina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corre la leyenda de que una de ellas est\u00e1 repleta de Coca Cola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el objetivo de la c\u00e1mara, se recortan, se integran, posan. No s\u00e9 desde cu\u00e1ndo los fot\u00f3grafos apuntan en su direcci\u00f3n, probablemente mi ojo no ha inventado nada. Pero veo una torre de agua y disparo. Es una declaraci\u00f3n de amor a lo anal\u00f3gico, un grito alegre hacia el pasado. La nostalgia va convirti\u00e9ndose en la \u00faltima revoluci\u00f3n posible y New York es la nostalgia elevada a la m\u00e1xima potencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York es un disparo al cielo, una fotograf\u00eda de s\u00ed mismo, un icono en forma de Torre de Agua tan resistente como un cohete de pel\u00edcula B\/W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
