FOTO ESTUDIO LUISITA

Once seen as dusty folders, archives have, in recent decades, come to be considered shimmering treasure troves
not only for academic research but also for artistic and curatorial practice and for art institutions and collections.
Archives are, today, an added value, a contemporary source of prestige in the conceptualization of art.

Temporada fulgor. Foto Estudio Luisita exhibits aselection of a photography archive of Argentine show business, mostly from the country's golden years of revue theater. Born in Cali, Colombia in 1929, Luisa Escarria came
to Buenos Aires along with her sisters in 1958. They set up their home and studio on Corrientes Avenue. Revue theater sex symbols, actors, dancers, comedians, and other figures key to the history of Argentine pop culture came
before their lens-hundreds of celebrities captured in over 40,000 images.

This project was realized by Leandra Chiappa, Mario Gemin and Sol Miraglia
