Luis Weinstein - Aritmetica Americana, CENFOTO Centro Nacional del Patrimonio Fotogràfico, 2012, Santiago de Chile

 

Softcover, design by Carolina Zañartu, edition of 500 copies, signed.

"Images he took in different countries when traveling South America.

When we read “South American,” we understand it to mean belonging to a space made up of 12 sovereign countries. Therefore, when we say “South American photography”, combining two enormous concepts, we are speaking of many things at the same time and, with neither the intention nor the ability to be exhaustive,  I would like to pause to consider some of them. The first reductionist trap we tend to fall into is to think that a “photograph” as such  exists once we click the camera shutter,but if we consider that the photograph, in addition to being an object, is also a form of communication (perhaps even a new form of language), then in order for it to come into being,the shutter-clickis necessary, of course, but so is processing, and, fundamentally, this technological object, loaded with symbolism, must circulate. Stashed away in the bottom of a box, a valley, or an isolated continent, it does not develop its full potential." (Leandro Villaro, ICP Library)
