THE ILLUSION OF AN EVERLASTING SUMMER - Allessandra Sanguinetti
This book follows Alessandra Sanguinetti’s return to rural Argentina to continue her close collaboration with Belinda and Guillermina, two cousins who, as children, were the subjects of the first book in her ongoing series, *The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams*.
In this second volume, *The Illusion of an Everlasting Summer*, we follow Guillermina and Belinda from ages 14 to 24 as they navigate the fluid territory between adolescence and adulthood. Still surrounded by the animals and rural settings of their childhood, Everlasting Summer depicts the daily lives of the two cousins as they experience young love, pregnancy, and motherhood—which, perhaps inevitably, lead to an ever-increasing independence from their families and from one another. Similarly, we can sense a shift in Sanguinetti’s relationship with the cousins and the work they do: from childhood collaborators on the island to three women whose lives are branching off in different directions. Although the passage of time is one of the most palpable tensions at work in these photographs, An Everlasting Summer deepens Sanguinetti’s exploration of the universal and timeless language of female intimacy and friendship.
