In the second volume of his "A Collection of Modern Latin American Architecture" trilogy
Brazilian photographer Leonardo Finotti continues his reappraisal of Latin America's modern
architectural legacy as he reconstructs key buildings through the lens of his camera. Shifting
the focus from the great protagonists to less visible geographies and scales Finotti explores
nine further metropolises: Buenos Aires Santiago Rio de Janeiro Brasília Quito San José
Caracas Guatemala City and Guadalajara. The accompanying essay by curator and researcher
Alexia Tala situates Finotti's work within architectural and photographic discourse with
particular emphasis on its connection to the legacy of Brazilian concrete art serial
photography and archiving as an act of intervention.
