Source of nightmares
This is a picture I took back in 1984 while I was living in Cusco, Peru, for one year as an exchange student. I chose not to dust the slides (oops, mistake!) so, well, they're kind of dusty!
About the title... I am referring to the tiny hole that Miguel and I are squatting in front of... the hole which we had climbed through to get inside the Chullpa at Sillustani. I often have nightmares about spaces through which I need to get but for which I am too large. Very stressful dreams! Miguel Cerro Heinzle (if you know him, send him my way!) and I had exchanged jackets, I think. I met Miguel while I was staying at a friend's house in Puno, Peru. The photographer's name escapes me just now.
Miguel and I are squatting inside what is called a Chullpa, a tomb. The (rich) person would have been actually buried while this chamber was for the dead person's favorite things, such as the gold cup he drank out of, his favorite servant, his favorite dog, etc.. The people were locked in the chamber with the purpose of serving the dead person in the afterlife.
