Carlos Jiménez Cahua
Raised in the USA but of peruvian descend, Carlos Jiménez Cahua photographed Lima, Peru. Simple and powerful images that convey the relationship and alterations of the land by the people living there. It is striking how the houses blend with the earth, a continuum of earthy color and patterns that become part of the same landscape.
I am interested in man’’s development on the earth – the way he shapes and sculpts the landscape. he must have a relationship with the land in order to alter it, and I feel that connection is more intimate than usual in a place like Lima. The people quite literally live atop the raw earth. – Carlos Jiménez Cahua
Truly incredible, extraordinary set of images…
