Alessandra Sanguinetti was born in New York in 1968, brought up in Argentina from 1970 to 2003, and is currently based in New York. She spends most of her time in either New York or Buenos Aires.
Her first major exhibition in Europe presents photographs from the series "The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of their Dreams" (1999-2002) and "The Life that Came" (2004-2008). The photographs within these series depict the strong friendship between cousins Guille and Belinda, who live a "rich but fragile and supervised life in a rural community," (Magnum). Alessandra Sanguinetti happened to meet these girls when they were ages nine and ten, while she was photographing farm animals at the home of their grandmother. The photographs in this series represent their fears, fantasies, and expectations of transitioning from childhood to adulthood.
I see strong similarities within her photographs. The structure of her photographs seem to consist of a strong focal point (located near the center or off to the side), a strong vertical line, and a less strong horizontal line.
