200: Four Hundred Images Are Worth More Than Four Hundred Thousand: Words
Publisher's Description
Celebrating Argentina’s bicentennial,
and curated by Guido Indij,
200 resembles a museum in book
form. It presents images of
Argentina from 1851 to the present
day; each year is represented by a
single image of its two most
extraordinary events. By focusing
on only two graphic representations
per year, the publication
seeks to expose Argentina as it
really is: a country of extremes and
contrasts. Consequently, an image
of an early stock exchange meeting
might be juxtaposed against
one of street merchants; a vision of
a mother dying of typhoid fever
might appear alongside a photograph
of the equatorial telescope;
an image of a lone poetess contrasts
a Nazi protest and a cartoon
of Mafalda sets off a photograph
of the sexy starlet Isabel Sarli.
Through this record of unique perspectives,
200 attests to the varied
voices that have built the country’s
common lore.
