Dreams of the Spider Woman (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788419233332)

A panorama of late-20th-century Latin American photography, from leading lights to anonymous artists

Selected from Jean-Louis Lariviere's collection, Dreams of the Spider Woman offers a vast survey of Latin American photography from the late 20th century. The book is structured thematically, addressing three major axes that shaped the region during the 1960s and '80s: political violence, sexual identity and the role of women. Within these axes, a wide range of photographers--known, unknown and anonymous--representing different technical and aesthetic approaches are featured. The selected images were curated by Alexis Fabry.
