Catalogue of the exhibition George Friedman. Photonovel, presented at Malba from December 6, 2024, to March 24, 2025.
This publication offers a comprehensive look at Friedman’s refined work through a rich selection and careful reproduction of his photographs. The images are accompanied by texts by the project's curators, Facundo de Zuviría and Samuel Titan, who highlight the photographic and sociological dimensions of his body of work, as well as an essay specially commissioned from Argentine researcher Paula Bertúa, which underscores the particular significance of Idilio magazine in Argentina. The volume is completed by previously unpublished autobiographical notes by Friedman and a fragment from Boquitas pintadas (Painted Lips) by Manuel Puig—a literary text that contributes to the understanding of the context and aesthetic of the photonovel.
