Description

Sergio Larrain's Valparaíso is a poignant and evocative portrait of a city in decline. This Chilean seaport, situated between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, was a focus of Larrain's attention throughout his career as a Magnum photographer. He saw it as "a sordid yet romantic city," where beauty and magic still lingered despite its fading trading importance. The book features a selection of previously unpublished photographs taken by Larrain between 1952 and 1992, accompanied by handwritten notes and texts. These images offer a unique glimpse into the city's transformation over time, from its heyday to its slow decline. A specially written text by Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda adds depth and context to the photographs. Valparaíso is a powerful and introspective work that showcases Larrain's skill as a photographer and his deep affection for this complex and fascinating city.
