Alessandra Sanguinetti Yuyitos (Flowers). 2005.
“The first photographs I took were of fields, animals and my older sisters in 25 de Mayo costumes.
I was a kid then, but I’m still making those same pictures. They are in
(...) different shapes and more elaborate narratives, but I am still attached to the same concerns and to a general sense of melancholy. My favorite thing to do then (and now) was to lie in the fields belly up and wait for horses and cows to come sniff me while I held my camera under their noses. Years later, in those same fields, now with Belinda and Guille, we played out scenarios, little dramas, sketches, still-lives, dances, songs and all kinds of general silliness, so that the fields became a grand, expansive stage.
In this image the girls are at their peak of adolescence. Many changes were brewing as they lay in wait.”
