9 February 2022: 10×10 hosted a salon on photobooks from Chile with photographer Luis Weinstein in a private home in Manhattan.
Chilean publications written with photographs have a long tradition of over 150 years and cover a wide range of genres, from photobook essays to almost hand-made visual poetry, from political propaganda to large coffee table books to albums edited by private companies. Talented authors, graphic designers and editors have established an incredibly diverse repertory. Weinstein, co-editor of Una Revisión al Fotolibro Chileno (A Review of the Chilean Photobook), will share his deep knowledge of historical and contemporary photobooks from Chile.
Luis Weinstein is a documentary photographer and editor, as well as lecturer and researcher on photography. He has a degree in Communications and a Master’s in Cultural Management. Weinstein founded the South American photomagazine, Sueño de la Razón. He is the author of ten photobooks and has participated in over 40 exhibitions in diverse venues, including museums and photo festivals, since 1977.
