SAVARY, Nicolas - Conquistador

AS BACKLIST ORDER! MORE COPIES ARE COMNG SOON!

"'Conquistador' is a photographic project built on the very dense archive of the life of Louis DE BOCCARD (1866-1956), a Swiss man of the lower nobility of Fribourg, exiled in Argentina at the end of the 1880s and deceased in Paraguay in 1956.

Nicolas SAVARY, a Lausanne photographer, fortuitously came into possession of this archive, first in Switzerland and then in Paraguay.
The archive discovered and organized within the framework of this project is extremely rich and, above all, unprecedented. It consists of photo albums, a correspondence, historical documents, press articles and diaries." (publisher's note, © RM, 2018)

In SPANISH:
"'Conquistador' es un proyecto fotográfico inspirado en los archivos de Louis de Boccard (1866-1956), explorador suizo establecido en Argentina a fines de la década de 1880.
Nicolas SAVARY, fotógrafo suizo, accede de manera fortuita al archivo de Boccard como parte de un proyecto de investigación, durante una residencia artística en Sudamérica en 2014. A partir de dicho descubrimiento, SAVARY propone un enfoque contemporáneo de dicha colección." (© RM, 2018)
