Summary

The catalogue opens with a foreword by Argentine writer Alan Pauls: his multi-faceted analysis recalls that well before it inspired the name of this exhibition, Manuel Puig's fictional work 'The kiss of the spider woman' was a seminal novel of the '70s. Its long shadow arches over the powerful images in the photographs, for the central themes of both book and exhibition turn on political violence, the role of women in society, and sexual identity, issues that left an indelible mark on the period running from the '60s to the '80s throughout the region.All the photos displayed are accompanied by information about their author, the year they were taken and other specific details. However, the sheer breadth of the themes covered, the range of photographers and their aesthetic styles, demanded a visual format capable of facilitating understanding, of fostering an intuitive closeness and enabling an intellectual reading. The photos in this exhibition have thus been organized into twelve series, based upon specific selection criteria. This has made it possible to encompass a visual memoir that is breathtaking in its diversity and technique, an intensely personal witness account of a specific time chronicled by a vast number of photographers, some known and some not, and some even lacking in any biographical data. They have made it their business to explore, document and denounce historical events and the minutiae of daily life in the 'Country of Bloodthirsty Wonders that is Latin America', as Pauls puts it in his prologue. Exhibition: Jean-Louis Larivie`re Foundation of Latin American photography, Buenos Aires, Argentina (15.11.2022 - 15.01.2023).
