In this book, journalist and author Catalina Mena, the artist's niece, paints an intimate and sensitive portrait of Sergio Larrain (1931-2012), one of the most important Chilean photographers, whose life and work are surrounded by an aura of genius and mystery.
From the 1950s onwards, he produced a unique and brilliant body of work that remained virtually unknown in Chile until his death. A contradictory figure, he withdrew from public life in the late 1970s to devote himself to meditation, yoga and writing, while maintaining a connection with the world of photography and a great deal of letter writing.
This book, written within the confines of his family circle, explores the chiaroscuro of his biography. The sixth title in the TXT collection, edited by Agnès Sire, Sergio Larrain, The Lost Photo sheds new light on the Chilean photographer's work.
