Rituality, 2008
(Description in-progress)
Through three documentary photographies, I explore two aspects of the Andean cosmovision of southern Peru: life and death. The first documentary deals with traditional therapeutics and healing, restoring the wellness of a frightened young child by submersing him in the belly of a cow, ritually sacrificed in the slaughterhouse. The second and third documentaries depict the syncretism of religious festivals: La Fiesta de Las Cruces in Huanta, Ayacucho and the pilgrimage of the Virgin of Cocharcas in Apurímac.
If you are interested in learning more about these cultural practices and methods, please fill out the Contact Form on the the Contact page.
