Part one, section one

1909-2000
This "archeology" of the disaster began with the tragedy in Venezuela in December 1999. Several days of continuous rain culminated in the floods in which more than twenty thousand people died. The exact number of victims is still unknown. This catastrophe, Latin America's greatest in the twentieth century, also changed the geography of the central north coast of Venezuela, in which the mudslides swept away whole villages and wiped the anatomy of these places clean off the map. The series of 10 images concentrates on interior spaces as metaphor of isolation and death.
