<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Chilean photographer Paz Errázuriz began taking photographs in the 1970s during the Pinochet dictatorship, and in subsequent decades traveled extensively to document the landscape and people of her native country. During the dictatorship Errázuriz frequently violated the regulations imposed by the military regime, daring to visit underground brothels, shelters, psychiatric wards and boxing clubs--all places where women were not welcome. Throughout her career, Errázuriz became intimately acquainted with not only her home city, Santiago, but also Chile's central valley, Patagonia and Valparaíso, forming long-lasting relationships with her subjects. She became known for spending months or years within a given community, building trust and carefully studying social structures. <i>Paz Errázuriz: Survey</i> is a major retrospective of this extraordinary artist's work over more than 40 years, including more than 170 photographs and featuring texts by Juan Vicente Aliaga, Gerardo Mosquera and Paulina Varas.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>From the Pinochet dictatorship to present day, Paz Errázuriz has created photographs that expose Chile's gritty subcultures while skillfully weaving together themes of art, gender, history, and politics. Committed to her subjects, Errázuriz has spent months and sometimes years within specific communities, building trust and studying social structures. During the dictatorship, she made projects in violation of the regulations imposed by the military regime, daring to visit underground brothels, shelters, psychiatric wards, and boxing clubs where women were not welcome. In the words of author Gerardo Mosquera, the spaces explored in Errázuriz's photos--beyond the striking personalities--reveal an extreme aesthetic that also exposes the potholes and irregularities left in the path of modernization. This book tells a story of Chile, photography, and the art, determination, and the life of an extraordinary photographer.
