Born in Gorizia, Italy, in 1934 and naturalized as a Venezuelan in 1954, photographer Paolo Gasparini is a prominent figure in modern Latin American photography, renowned for his uncompromising portrayal of the cultural tensions and profound internal contradictions of the American continent. Gasparini has extensively traveled throughout Latin America, from Cuba to Venezuela, where he eventually settled, and beyond, capturing the diversity and visual culture of the region he came to call home. This publication, accompanying the eponymous exhibition, surveys six decades of his photographic career, wherein an itinerary through the ever-changing landscapes of cities such as Caracas, La Habana, Sao Paulo, or Mexico seems to echo that of Munich, Paris, Madrid, or London. The catalog features essays by María Wills, curator of the exhibition, Horacio Fernández, Antonio Muñoz Molina, and Juan Villoro, as well as a concise biography of Gasparini by Sagrario Berti.
