project archive > SISMOS79
Sismos79 consists of photographs, installation, recordings, and videos, made through a combination of fieldwork, re-photography, and intensive collection of old photographs, particularly those of young women, and print magazines from 1979 purchased in flea markets downtown Lima. Sismos or "earthquake" refers to the turbulent and violent history of Lima, Peru circa 1979. Sismos79 imaginatively weaves together a sense of the historical and social fabric into which I was born.
