The section brings together galleries and artists from different regions of Argentina who approach photography from diverse perspectives. It invites us to explore how the image can become part of broader processes where technique, narrative, and material experimentation intersect.

In this edition, Pinta BAphoto pays tribute to Anatole Saderman (Moscow, 1904 – Buenos Aires, 1993), whose work transformed Argentine photography by combining technical rigor with poetic sensibility. His portraits and visual studies of artists and writers created a body of work that continues to influence contemporary photography both locally and internationally.
In this new edition of the Video Project, six video works by American artist and biologist Donna Conlon are presented.
