description project
La buena esposa presents an encounter with some episodes of the lives of eight women who were born during the dictatorship regime, through the interpretation of their personal photographic archives.
The project examines the way in which these relationships took shape through the images of their family albums, among which were vestiges of the portraits they sent to their lovers, friends or relatives.
