Summary:

Artist photographer Giovana Zuccarino (Argentina, 1982, lives and works in Buenos Aires) studied geology at the University of Buenos Aires. She explores the characteristics of light and the materiality of photographic tools, making use of 19th-century techniques, or even those of the pre-photographic era of the previous century. She builds her own optical instruments such as telescopes, a sun-recording device, a coelostat, a camera obscura and microscopes. More or less once a week, she meets up with her colleagues at the observatory of the Asociación Argentina Amigos de la Astronomía to exchange information and engage in new research. The last years she has been working with a historical telescope, specially made for the Transit of Venus in 1882 making a series of lunar landscapes, solar and lunar eclipses always working with antiques technics. She travels looking for astronomical events, solar eclipses, meteor shower. Last December she was in Argentine Patagonia taken daguerreotypes and wet collodion plates from the total solar eclipse. She works with telescopes, and large format cameras, as her loved Linhof Technika III, with lenses Schneider-Kreuznach 90 mm, 135 mm and 270 mm. (always wrapped with her scarf that has become a lucky charm for clear skies).
