Literature

P. Neruda, S.Larrain (edited by) , Valparaiso, Hazan, Paris, 1991
"Valparaiso" is surely the most famous work of the Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain, a member of Magnum Photos, who dedicated an unusual and profound look to the city of Valparaiso by shooting it for many years from 1952 onward . He portrayed the city with an unusual look, following his thinking "The conventional world puts blinkers on you, and to photograph you have to abandon them."
