In 2017, his work as an editor was recognized with the award for Best Latin American Photobook at the Latin American Photography Colloquia in Mexico, and in 2018, together with the 280a collective, he won the Art Trail Tesla award at the Unseen Festival in Amsterdam.

SED Editorial

Directed by Martín Bollati

SED is an Argentinian publishing house with specific focus on the enigmatic characteristics of the photographical image and its mutilple possibilities of discourse. The photographical image understood not in its specular condition but in its mirage curse: what we see is a product of our needs and desires. We crawl through the desert, seeking that drop of water and so we see it appearing, radiant and impossible, far away. For a moment its illusion hides the desert.

SED’s work methodology implies a collaborative development between authors, designers and publisher, building a horizontal line of work where dialogue, production and circulation of the published proyects is produced by shared responsability and means. The act of reading and its hyperlinking subject are fundamental axes of this system.

Each book is a latent unit that hides (besides an oasis and the treasure of possibility) a commited, profesional and affective team, that works in the passionate and complex task of editing, publishing and reading in Latin America.

Asunción Casa Editora

A publishing project by Alejandra González and Agustina Triquell

Asunción Casa Editora is an independent publishing house based between Buenos Aires and Córdoba, Argentina, focused on contemporary photographic practices and their various modes of emergence within the poetic-political fabric of the present. Asunción understands the publishing gesture as a collective and affective process that involves the active collaboration between artists, writers, designers and editors from Latin America.

Asunción implies shouldering a certain responsibility—and doing so with a sense of urgency. Asunción is also the name of one of the oldest cities on the Latin American continent: they make books in and from Latin America, and their work involves friendships and collaborations across various latitudes. Asunción is a peripheral capital, far removed from the major centers; it is from this vantage point that we also like to conceptualize our practice. The publishers conceive of the book-making process as a form of collective, affective labor. They embrace the need to reflect upon the place of graphic art within our political and affective frameworks—to foster encounters and to tell stories through our photographs.
