Daniel Mordzinski in conversation with Juan Gabriel Vásquez

Daniel Mordzinski, the writers’ photographer, has been working on an ambitious “human atlas” of Spanish and Latin American literature for more than thirty years. This Argentinean, who has been living in Paris since 1980, has been taking portraits of the most important figures in Spanish-language literature and has become a companion to three generations of writers. Photographer of the Spanish-speaking Hay Festivals and graphic correspondent for the newspaper El País in Paris, Mordzinski is the author of a number of books, the latest of which is Últimas noticias del sur. Created together with Luis Sepúlveda, it tells of a long trip through Patagonia. It is also “a book of posthumous news, the novel of a region that has disappeared.”
