Alessandra Sanguinetti: The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams
Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson
79, rue des Archives
75003 Paris
JANUARY 30 TO MAY 19, 2024
With the help of the two cousins (Aranciaga and Stutz), using scenography and accessories, Sanguinetti puts her photographs and her models into dialogue in a resolutely phantasmagorical series. As Morpheus holds a mirror in one hand while offering the power of dreams in the other, the artist paradoxically transports us to the realm of illusion and portrays a world proper to the two individuals, at first no more than “points on the horizon”.
In dreamlike, psychoanalytical images, Sanguinetti subtly addresses the continual question of an artist’s relationship to her subject. Within and beyond the series, the three women, Guillermina, Belinda and Alessandra, ultimately form another type of family.
