Description

The material in Metropolis is previously unpublished. These are photographs of Buenos Aires that the author took between 1988 and 1999, in many cases before or in parallel with her photographic essays; images as a prequel to what she later developed, and also images of a Buenos Aires that no longer exists.
The book is complemented by a text by Juan Forn, written especially for the edition.
