Title: Desilusiones
Description: Photographer Fabin España (b. Chile) has been developing for several years a number of projects that document the life and customs of the Andean ethnic nations of Chile. The Aymara ethnic group occupied in the past a large land area of Chile. Today in fairly minor proportions and in localities of apparent abandonment, these indigenous people are clearly vanishing, disintegrating. This is the graphic story of the decline of a town that day by day is diapering before our own eyes. "All the photographs were taken between 2011 and 2013 around Visviri and Putre, in the Arica and Parinacota region, in the north of Chile at the border with Peru and Bolivia" --Page [98]
