La Realidad is less a book of street photography than a philosophic question. What's the real thing? What we see or what we don't ? Is reality a construction of the brain, or something that has its own identity outside us ? Do things exist when we don t look at them? Why Heisenberg, a Nobel Prize in Physics, call the factual evidence "absurd"? Photography has always had an undisputed tie with facts. Yet: are facts what we call reality? Where and what is meaning? Why supposedly meaningfulless images are never taken into account as valid? Don t they reveal us something belonging to our paralel worlds?

Photographer Andrés Salinero was born the 26 January 1963 in the city of La Plata, province of Buenos Aires capital district, Argentina. He began photographing at 8 thanks to his father Heraldo, an engineer and amateur photographer himself. Being 15 he traveled to Mexico, where he was deeply moved by this Country's pre-Hispanic, native cultural heritage, and the old, little towns hanging from the central mountains, like Taxco. Influenced by that trip and other untransferable experiences (like Carlos Castaneda and Julio Cortázar readings), he noticed he had deeply felt in love with Documentary Photography -and travelling, of course. Salinero studied Journalism and Mass Communications, Cultural Anthropology, Philosophy and the History of Arts at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, where he also worked as a photographer during ten years. After graduating, attending a course in Visual Anthropology and a brief interlude in New York, he returned to Argentina and began to freelance for Clarín Editorial Group in Buenos Aires, and for international magazines like National Geographic and Altaïr (Sapiens Publicacións, Barcelona). In 2001 he won a World Press Prize in Photography, and associated with agencies and book editors from Buenos Aires as a photographer, writer and co-editor. In 2010, he fully devoted to his own editorial project, Terra Incognita, which he had created during his teenage years. By these days, he is engaged full time to this long term project. Salinero is also the author of three experimental essays: Reality, Gulp! and Cielito Lindo. Besides Photography, Salinero likes jazz, literature and paintwork. His preferred hobbies are tennis and watching international Rally races. Salinero still lives in the same city where he and his parents were born: La Plata, 60 kms. south from Buenos Aires megalopolis. He thinks of himself as a "rioplatense" -a citizen of the river. Despite having two University titles, Salinero is as a self-taught photographer.
