Stunning 'Graciela Iturbide: Heliotropo 37' is NEW from Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain

Featured spreads are from Graciela Iturbide: Heliotropo 37, the iconic new monograph from Fondation Cartier featuring tipped on cover image and Smyth Sewn exposed binding. “Photography is not the truth,” Iturbide says in the published interview with Fabienne Bradu. “The photographer interprets reality, he builds his own reality according to what he knows and his emotions. It’s sometimes complicated because it is a slightly schizophrenic phenomenon. Without the camera, you see the world one way, and with it, another way; through this little window, you compose, you dream reality, as if the camera allowed you to synthetize what you are and what you’ve learned about the place. Then, you create your own image, you interpret. The same thing happens to the photographer and the writer alike: it’s impossible to capture life’s truths.”
