Synopsis

Sanguinetti began photographing the two cousins four years ago when they were 10 and 9 years old. The images are made with their active participation and the artist considers them "a diary of the changes both of their bodies and their minds." About the project Sanguinetti states, "It is my aim with this work to delve into Guille and Belinda’s psychological and physical transformations as they become women, and how their cultural environment will affect this maturing. I have attempted to interpret the ending of their childhood, by entering their imaginary spaces. The time when their dreams, fantasies and fears would fuse seamlessly with real day to day life are ending, and the photographs I have made intend to crystallize this rapidly disappearing very personal and free space."
