EDITORS COMMENTS
Trasfiguracin" is a captivating double portrait that captures the essence of a young woman in two contrasting moments. In the foreground, she appears in a half bust profile, her gaze fixed and mysterious. Her beauty is accentuated by delicate jewelry adorning her neck, including an exquisite pendant cross that adds a touch of elegance to her ensemble. However, it is in the background where this photograph truly comes alive. The young woman transforms into an ethereal figure as she dances gracefully amidst the shadows. Her movements are fluid and mesmerizing, evoking a sense of freedom and expression. It is as if she has transcended reality and entered into a world filled with rhythm and passion. Taken in Buenos Aires around 1940, this photograph showcases not only the artistry of Heinrich Annemarie but also provides insight into Argentinean culture at that time. The ballroom scene depicted hints at the vibrant dance culture prevalent in Buenos Aires during this period. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "Trasfiguracin" delves into deeper themes such as individuality and self-expression. The physiological and psychological aspects of dance are explored through the juxtaposition of the static profile shot with the dynamic dancing figure. This print serves as both an object of visual delight and an opportunity for studies and research on various topics like fashion, clothing accessories, makeup techniques used during that era, as well as hygiene beauty treatments popular among women at that time. Overall, "Trasfiguracin" invites viewers to contemplate notions of identity, transformation, and artistic expression while appreciating the timeless allure captured within this remarkable photograph by Heinrich Annemarie from Alinari.
