A film that follows the unpublished footsteps of one of the most important artists in the history of Chile: Sergio Larraín. The best Chilean photographer, and one of the best in the world, who successfully passed through the most important agencies in the world such as Magnum.
With the help of this documentary, we can discover his passionate biography, the secrets of his iconic photos and get closer to a fundamental artist revered in specialized circles, but unknown in the key parts of his life. And it is that, the artist was gradually abandoning photography and deepening in the study of oriental culture and mysticism, seeking tranquility and isolation to dedicate himself completely to painting, meditating, teaching yoga and writing. As an added incentive, in this documentary Josef Koudelka, another huge and elusive photographer, is interviewed.
Also on the weekend there will be a photographic market on Calle Marqués de Campo between 10 am and 14 pm on Saturday, October 9.
