Since founding LimaFotoLibre in 2006, the collective’s four photographers have roamed the streets of the Peruvian capital, cameras in hand, always ready to capture scenes, people and events that most people would overlook.
Today, more than 300 photographs have been brought together for the exhibition A ver, a ver, on view at the Galeria Municipal de Arte Pancho Fierra through March 2, 2014.
Guided by instinct and spontaneity, Pool Olortiga aka Fokus, Bruno Guerra aka Tunchi, José Vidal aka Oe, and Clément Gaillard aka Petituars, have painted a realistic portrait of the streets of Lima, documenting the changes in the city they love.
What united these young, self-taught artists is a double passion: for photography and for the city of Lima,” says photographer Claudia Lüchi. “And I can perfectly understand these two passions. Lima seems to be the most fascinating city in the world to be discovered by photographers. It’s a neverending task, ineffable and vibrant, a combinations of stories, fragments of culture and social strata, which appear as ever-changing constellations.”
