The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams – Alessandra Sanguinetti (2nd signed edition)

Originally published in 2010 by Nazraeli Press in a volume that has since become rare and unobtainable, this beautiful book presents, against the backdrop of the Argentine countryside, a mixture of theatrical constructions and spontaneous reconstructions of fantasies starring cousins Guille and Belinda.

Sanguinetti’s images portray a childhood that is both familiar and exceptional. The farmlands of western Buenos Aires province are a particular mix of the modern and traditional, where life is lived in consonance with animals and rugged landscapes.

By depicting the lives of women and girls within the conventionally masculine world of Argentinan gauchos and farmers, Sanguinetti’s book interrogates the frameworks of mythologies of all kinds, honouring lives that are usually unseen. The Adventures of Guille and Belinda is a portrait of rural childhood at once quiet and poetic, in which the fantastic and the mundane are intimately entwined.
