Sergio Larraín – El Rectángulo en la Mano

Important photographic publication by the renowned Chilean photographer Sergio Larraín, one of the most poetic and influential members of Magnum Photos Agency. El Rectángulo en la Mano was originally published in 1963 and represents the first book by Larraín. Over time it has become a fundamental and highly influential volume in the history of Latin American photography, admired for its originality and for the unique visual language developed by the photographer. The edition published in 2018 by Éditions Xavier Barral is an exact facsimile of the rare 1963 original edition, produced as a tribute to this historic photobook. The publication faithfully reproduces the design, layout, and spirit of the first edition, allowing contemporary readers and collectors to experience the book in its authentic original form. Inside, Larraín's photographs reveal his distinctive approach to street photography: intuitive compositions, dramatic perspectives, and a poetic sensitivity to everyday life. His images transform ordinary moments into powerful visual narratives, demonstrating his extraordinary ability to capture the mystery and geometry of the world through the “rectangle in the hand”. Today this publication is considered an essential reference for collectors and photography enthusiasts, as well as a collectible volume celebrating one of the most iconic photobooks of the 20th century.
