Hardbound Book: 80 pages with 61 four-color reproductions
Publisher: Nazraeli Press
ISBN: 1-59005-070-3
This eighty-page cloth-bound book includes sixty-one color reproductions. Sanguinetti’s vivid photographs depict the coexistence of people and animals in an arrestingly honest portrayal. She made these pictures by roadsides, in fields, and in woods near her home in a province of Buenos Aires. Her photographs reveal and describe with clarity the rituals and traditions of the local farmers whose lives interweave with a host of domestic animals caught in the cycle that is life and death. The work in On the Sixth Day goes beyond straight documentary practice and evokes an intimacy that, confounding our sensibilities, is a privilege to experience.
Sanguinetti has exhibited her work internationally and has won numerous prizes and awards for her photography, including: Guggenheim Fellowship 2000; National Fund for the Arts, Argentina; Buenos Aires Art Biennial, Argentina; and First Prize, National Hall for the Arts, Argentina. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Janet Borden Gallery, New York, NY; and the Museum of Modern Art, Buenos Aires.
