Duermevela

About this book

Duermevela is the third title in the Photobooks collection directed by Juan Manuel Fiuza. Renowned photojournalist Eduardo Longoni wrote in his most recent book, short texts and then, he illustrated them with images of his journalistic photographic work in the streets, from the family album, or images captured at random and for some reason preserved. In addition to being cofounder in 1981 of the prestigious exhibition El Periodismo Gráfico Argentino, Longoni has received numerous international awards for his iconic images of Argentina. About this photobook, the artist tells us: "I am a photographer. I've spent my life running from here to there with the camera glued to my eye. Reading was always my other passion. But just as the photos were mine, the texts were from others, from the writers. In recent years I began to scribble some memories. Thus, between the mists of childhood, the vertiginous adolescent times, the adventures of my daughter Paloma, and the anguish of the pandemic, these lines began to take shape, which I treasured as a draft in a little notebook. They are unpretentious texts. Images that this time became letters, but always accompanied by my photos, because I am inevitably a photographer.".
