CHILE PRIMAVERA 2019 (Chile Spring 2019) by LUIS WEINSTEIN
In the book Chile Primavera 2019, photographer Luis Weinstein offers a personal vision of the events that shook the streets and government of the country for months before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. With a circular structure, similar to Koen Wessing’s seminal photobook Chile September 1973, the popular Plaza Italia in Santiago functions as the point of departure and arrival for this unique look at a divided city – and country – that continues to push for change.

“En 2019 la primavera nos sacudió, como un rayo, en mi país. Quedamos en un punto ciego del futuro. Navegamos todos en aguas turbulentas y estamos en la crecida, hecha de capas y corrientes diferentes. Pulsos diversos se acumulan unos sobre otros. Los relatos en este territorio se vuelven complejos, también nuestras percepciones.”
Luis Weinstein, February 2020.
