Contrasombras
Resumen del Libro
Poets, tramps, bars, waiters, transvestites, blind musicians bars among other characters, are portrayed by Leonora Vicuña (b. Chile 1952) from their particular optical sensitivity. The photographer multiplies occurrences of the popular and invisible and characters marked melancholy. Leonora reconstructs a warm look that revives faded colors and glorious nostalgia of the golden age of the photographic portrait. An analysis of the work of the artist is done by Gonzalo Leiva, an art historian specializing in visual memory. The text divided into six chapters, give light on the creative path of Vicuña.
