Launch of the photobook “Everything and Nothing”
- La Moneda Cultural Center, Citizens Square 26, La Moneda Metro Station.
- Thursday, August 1 – 3:00 p.m..
In this double autobiographical story, Gisela Volá and Nicolás Pousthomis expose happy moments and crises to show how feelings are put to the test over time and love is a permanent gamble.
The story tells of the painful shared experience and also of individualities: tensions, grief, abortions. But also eroticism, company, births. Each photo condenses the intimacy of a couple and, in parallel, that insurmountable limit that resides in the other, impossible to elucidate.
The book contains analogue photographs of a couple who always photographed themselves, incorporating their own writings and interventions on the images.
Sub Editora is one of the nine foreign publishers participating in StgoFoto 2024, along with Lovely House, Revista Balam, Hydra, ArteXArte, El Ministerio, KWY editorial, CDF and Editorial La Luminosa.
The Latin American Photobook Fair and Meeting will take place at the La Moneda Cultural Center from August 1 to 4. With free admission, visitors will be able to visit dozens of stands from all over Chile and from nine foreign publishers. There will be 16 book launches and talks, including two conferences by Paz Errázuriz and Pablo Ortiz Monasterio. There will be workshops, as well as project screenings, and for the first time, the StgoFoto Award will be presented for the best recent national photobook.
