Estudio Archivo Cordero: Bolivia 1900–1961 — Turner Publicaciones, 2004

Published by Turner in 2004, Estudio Archivo Cordero: Bolivia 1900–1961 offers a landmark photographic survey of Bolivia’s 20th-century visual identity, drawn from the extraordinary archive of the Cordero Studio. Spanning over six decades, this collection of 164 pages presents a rigorous and poetic assembly of portraits, military processions, civic rituals, and domestic scenes—each one a fragment of a larger national image.

Operating between documentary and theatricality, the Cordero archive charts Bolivia’s shifting visual codes—from the colonial residue to republican formality and modern assertion. Uniforms, horses, backdrops, gazes: each element is meticulously composed, giving weight to the act of being photographed as a form of historical inscription.

This English-language edition, bound in softcover and printed at generous scale, is as much an art object as a historical document. An essential title for readers interested in Latin American photography, visual anthropology, and the performance of nationhood in the studio.
