Unas fotografias

The photographs that originated the texts of this unique book remained for a long time stored in a cardboard box, accumulated intuitively, without any order, by Carlos Altamirano (Santiago de Chile, 1954), waiting for them to find when they converged with other materials preserved by the artist for years. The author, one of the most relevant Chilean artists of recent decades, leads us through unexpected corners of his biography through "some photographs". "Without thinking it too much, I separate the sixteen images that were offered first, and, knowing that it is not the content of a photo but the continent - the photograph itself - that lives, what in this case could tell me the details of my life."
