Sergio Larrain This book is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Sergio Larrain. Edited by Agnès Sire, who maintained a long correspondence with him and worked with Magnum to preserve his photographic legacy, this monograph is divided into two main sections: Latin America and Europe.
A selection of more than 200 photographs, supplemented by a biography, his letters, drawings, and sketchbooks, immerses us in the world of this extraordinary artist.

He frames the light in such a way that it gives the impression that days are plunged into night. People are like ghostly apparitions. He takes rare liberties to draw the viewer into daring and masterful compositions—sensual and turbulent—as if one were on a rocking ship: high-angle shots, low-angle shots, deep perspectives, foreground blur, and dramatic cuts of light…”.
