It is a work that up to date covers thirteen countries, thirteen different realities (1). Modern architecture serves as a pillar, it is a common thread through which Finotti elaborates a personal narrative made of images. LATINITUDES, a neologism, combines the words \"Latin\" and \"latitudes\", and proposes a linear installation through photographs in 9 cities, from south to north, by their latitude (2).\nIn 2015, the Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibited its largest exhibition of Latin American architecture, Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955-1980. Leonardo Finotti was invited by the museum to make a contemporary vision, which in addition of being presented in the exhibition, opens its catalog with a personal portfolio (from which 15 of his photographs entered the museum's permanent collection) .\nThat work, which spanned seven years and led Finotti to travel throughout Latin America, gave rise to LATINITUDES, unlike the MoMA exhibition, this selection of B&W photographs brings us a more personal and intimate view conceived together with the curator Michelle Jean de Castro.\n\n(1) The 13 countries are AR, UY, CL, PY, BR, BO, PE, CO, VE, PA, MX, DO and CU.\n(2) The 9 cities are Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago, S\u00e3o Paulo, Lima, Bogot\u00e1, Caracas, Mexico City and Havana.","space":"The construction of the narrative is structured through sets of works from the same city, configuring an urban landscape through its buildings.The horizon line that continuously connects all the images takes us on a walk, a journey under the same gaze. The direction is chosen by the viewer, who can guide himself through its latitude, from south to north or vice versa.The match of scale in the photos and their sequence ends up transforming the works into a new object, a photographic installation.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"es","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":11,"names":"Leonardo","surname":"Finotti","email":"lf@leonardofinotti.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"FU669057","address":"Rua da Consola\u00e7\u00e3o 3064, 42B - Cerqueira C\u00e9sar","city":"S\u00e3o Paulo","nacionality":"brasil","country_id":"34","birthdate":"1977-01-13T03:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1977-01-13T03:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+5511987811913","web":"@leonardofinotti"}
