A Rhea, a species of flightless bird native to South America is seen in a field near Punta Arenas, Chile, which is on the Straits of Magellan and the northern border of Tiera del Fuego.
I spent 5 days in Punta Rocas, 46 km south of Lima and from there I explored the whole area, from Cruz de Hueso (San Bartolo), over Santa Rosa Alto and Punta Negra, up to Punta Hermosa. In these locations one can find every stage of urbanisation and improvisation: from future projects to abandonment.
As I said earlier, I am interested in chaotic growings of the beach resorts south of Lima, along the coastal desert strip at the Pacific Ocean. Many sites are built where there have never been towns before, with no water and no vegetation. Absurdly, they are often thought and projected as what one thinks could be a typical caribean beach paradises. Many times, too, the projects remain as projects for years and years, or are executed but afterwards turn out to be inviable and unmaintainable in the harsh enviorenment of the desert and the corroding forces of the sea.
In this series of 25 photos I wanted the view of the ocean to be a common and uniting factor, as well as the overpowering presence of the desert - the sand, the dust, the salt and the humidity - and the colors of the sand, the dust and the salt and the taints and shades of the humidity - which alltogether condition the life and constructions of and in these places...
And furthermore, I wanted to show, how these resorts are conceived with their front towards the Ocean, all the while the Rear Side - that faces the desert is totally blind and death and somehow taken for granted, that no one will ever look at the back side of the houses - so it is a place of desolation and accumulation of garbage. That is, people now adays, unlike the pre-columbians, have no relation with the desert, which is conisdered a place of dumping, void and nothingness...

A few photos from my trip down to Punta Gorda, FL to visit my grandfather and his friend Alice with my mom. Made me miss living in Florida a little bit.
Punta Arenas, Chile.
Along the waterfront in Punta Arenas there are several old, unused and deteriorating piers. Sea birds like to perch on these remaining sections. Thanks to Brennan Mulrooney for identifying these birds as Imperial Cormorants.
