Title: Buenos días
Description: Ediciones Challa was founded collectively by Rodrigo Villalón, Fernando Rivera, Anna Hurtado and Wilson Muñoz. Born of the idea of Rodrigo, who sought to photographically document the Andean celebrations, along with Fernando's strong need to produce and disseminate the local cultural; the idea is enriched by Anna's commitment to an editorial work that values the cultural heritage of northern Chile, in dialogue with a long-term investigation with local communities, led by Wilson. The cross is an omnipotent object in the Andean landscape. It appears in churches and chapels, rivers, ponds, portals of houses, and in a special way, on the top of the hills. The title of the book "Good Morning Cross of Heaven" is also one of the stanzas that every May local singers sing at their crosses. "The book that the reader has in his hands is the outcome of a sustained fieldwork carried out in recent years in the Commune Camarón, particularly in the Valley of Codpa. The images try to reproduce a visual story composed of intimate and personal scenes that have emerged around the cross, the result of the encounter, dialogue and friendship established by the team with the cross worshipers."
