El Gran Movimiento

El Gran Movimiento begins with an aerial series of manmade landscapes, moving in from great to smaller scope: the Bolivian capital La Paz, a vast mesa of cement; the gutted hillsides surrounding the city; roads and high-rises; cable cars traveling back and forth; distorted images of faceless passers-by seen through curved traffic mirrors; a torn, faded poster of a smiling face flapping in the wind, a “hidden trace of time. ” The sense of suffocation is intense.
