The photographer was then 29 years old, but something in the pair reminded her of the summers she spent as a child in the Argentine countryside, which she refers to as the happiest time of her life. Over the next 21 years - and counting - Guille and Belinda have collaborated with Alessandra on the ongoing series ‘The Adventures of Guille and Belinda’, a documentary pageant about time and the change it brings. The series shows the changing relationship between these girls, changes in their relationship to the camera, and changes in the photographer’s relationship to her craft. Ultimately, it shows change in the relationship between these women and the world at large. Sanguinetti pays special attention to the evolution of themes like play and performance, girlhood, love, family, and animals, all mirrored by the landscape and laced with intermittent visions of the future. The first book of the series was published in 2010 by Nazraeli Press, spanning late childhood through late teendom. Titled The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams, the project saw Guille and Belinda enact precocious tableaux of weddings and even pregnancy in anticipation of their adult lives. In the second installment, published by MACK this fall, The Illusion of an Everlasting Summer, these scenes come to pass and take form as a natural extension of the first publication. Vastly different from Sanguinetti’s photographs of her own family, the series is more like a fairy tale than a family album.
