Facundo de Zuviría lives and works in Buenos Aires, exploring the urban landscape in his photographs. The series Siesta Argentina – created in the period following the Argentinian crisis at the end of 2001 – illustrates a city devoid of people and activities during mid-afternoon siesta. These images of storefronts in Buenos Aires draw attention to the differing patterns found on the building facades. De Zuviría has received multiple awards, including the prestigious Konex Award for his contributions to Argentinian visual arts in 1992 and again in 2012. His work has been exhibited at institutions worldwide, including the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris and the International Center of Photography, New York. Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires holds a later print of this image.
