Descrizione
This project recreates a snapshot of the armed and social conflict endured by Colombian peasants. The gunpowder used by the peasants to resist and express social discontent through armed confrontation will be used to form a photographic image, their glow being the only source of light necessary for the image to appear: removing the gunpowder from each ammunition, placing it in an improvised container and lighting it when the photo is taken, thus acting as a kind of flash.
