Still - Guadalupe Gaona - Bog

In the words of Mercedes Halfón, this book of photographs by Guadalupe Gaona traces the "slow process of the dismantling of an aristocratic mansion in Buenos Aires. This is the event chosen to be photographed. A lapse of time moving from full to empty, in which a dwelling loses its household attributes and ceases to be inhabitable, to be transformed into a desolate space." The result is a visual narrative-without written texts-that explores new territory in the context of Latin American photography. Quieta was the winner of the first RM Latin American Photobook Competition in 2010, selected by a jury composed of Horacio Fernández, Graciela Iturbide, Martin Parr, Lesley Martin, Álvaro Sotillo, Diran Sirinian, Ramón Reverté, Alexis Fabry, and Juan Pablo Quiroz.
