This exhibition comprises 55 photographs from a curated collection of color work, most of which was found on Kodak Ektachrome slideswhere. Much of her work in color dates from the 1970s until her death. She was more abstract than the black and white images she normally captured that showed the children she cared for or people on the street. His color work focused more on objects, such as newspapers or images of everyday events in the streets, close-ups and specific details that his gaze captured, but without neglecting the opportunism of a shot, either due to the situation or the characters. that she saw and perceived. The exhibition "Fotografía estereoscópica argentina" comprises 200 three-dimensional images. They are black and white photographs, of past scenarios and characters from the early 20th century that were immortalized by amateurs with stereoscopic cameras whose images can be seen in three dimensions, with viewfinders or on a large screen with glasses similar to those used to watch 3D movies. . Despite the quantitative limitations, this exhibition proposes to address the works that amateurs and professionals developed in various parts of the country, and that to date have been presented on few occasions and in isolation. Within the production carried out by amateurs is the work of José María Jorge, Alberto Constancio González, Bernardo Croce, Walter Kirby and other unidentified authors. These photographers tackled different themes in common: scenes of everyday life, family portraits and trips to Europe and Argentina, especially to Mar del Plata, a summer resort that several of them frequented.
