Flavia de la Fuente returns to the same spaces from her 15 Days at the beach to document noghtfall and the variations of darkness, with images as pleasant as they are mysterious.

Flavia de la Fuente abandons for this time the portraits of her favorite city, San Clemente, to travel to another place and dedicate one of her works to Buenos Aires, in what promises to be the first part of a series.
