Iquitos 85

Collection

The World Today (TWT)

Description

Iquitos is one of the most important cities in the Amazon. In spite of being located in the middle of the jungle, towards the end of the XIX century, the amazon rubber boom encouraged its expansion and growth, but also brought with it genocide for the indigenous cultures that inhabited the area. Today, Iquitos still shows the remnants of this history but has been transformed into a city of extreme vitality. Where nature overflows and coexists with the stridency between historic buildings, the crowds of "moto-taxis" that run wildly through the city and the tropical climate. The series is an urban registry of the space and the ecosystem of elements and characters, turning its tones to cyan making a reference to the botanical cyanotype wow made by Ana Atkins, but this time not from cataloguing, on the contrary from the unclassifiable.
