Through approximately 200 photographs—about half in color and sourced from private collections—the reader can explore his tireless documentation of Buenos Aires. The work is presented as a visual continuum, highlighting the series \"La siesta argentina\" and \"Frontalismo,\" which reveal his obsession with the city, symmetrical composition, and obsolete urban signage, imbuing his images with a deep sense of nostalgia and melancholy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book traces the career of Facundo de Zuviría, a photographer who has made Buenos Aires his primary subject. The images capture storefronts, facades, and urban signage—often slightly dated—that the author portrays relentlessly. The selection of works, presented as a continuous whole, is interrupted only to highlight two fundamental series: \"La siesta argentina,\" his most well-known and politically charged work, and \"Frontalismo,\" which exemplifies his marked inclination toward geometric composition and symmetry. Altogether, the work conveys a sense of nostalgia and a present that already seems written in the past tense, the result of the photographer's fascination with a visual anachronism that defines his style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUrban and documentary photography of Buenos Aires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNostalgia and melancholy through obsolete signage and architecture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographic composition: symmetry and frontalism as aesthetic devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA record of the passage of time and the transformation of the city.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\"La siesta argentina\" series: a political and social gaze upon Argentine culture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis catalog is aimed at lovers of documentary and auteur photography interested in the work of Facundo de Zuviría and the Argentine photographic tradition.
