Peru, 2009
Despite Juan Manuel Castro Prieto’s long admiration for Martin Chambri, « Perú, viaje al Sol » was a personal, introspective and sensitive work that showed little sign of the Peruvian photographer. In contrast, when he returned in 2009-2010, it was with the desire to pay him tribute. He follows in Chambri’s steps, travelling a landscape that is more social than focused on the past, but never tries to imitate him. His use of color, as in his more recent photos, emphasizes that the works of Chambi and Castro Prieto belong to different eras, between which the Spanish photographer searches for continuity, correspondence and discontinuity.
