My Peruvian lockdown
Last 20th of march 2020, I went to Cusco (Peru) to do an exhibition. I was very excited because the curators are very good friends of mine, Gabriela and Jaime (from La Galeria del Barrio in Lima), and this time they came with their son Joaquin, 2 years old.
The Museum Qorikancha was ready to greet us and we had everything ready since very long time…but…suddenly, the Peruvian president announced on TV a national lockdown because the coronavirus situation. Of course, everything changed: the openning of the exhibition was immediately canceled and we got stuck in a little hotel in the old town of Cusco! No way to go back even to Lima…not by plane, nor by bus or car…
Jaime and Gabriela said “let’s call Lama, we can’t stay here”! Alberto Lama is an amazing multi disciplinary artist living in the Sacred Valley and a very close friend. He opened us his house, his studio and greeted us like family does.
The house is located in the Sacred Valley, in the same Royal path that goes to Machu Picchu, surrounded by an amazing nature.
Fortunately, I had on me my old camera with a 35 mm lens witch I love, so during the 16 days of my stay in Lama´s house, I had time to document this “lucky lockdown”. At the end, the Swiss repatriation took me back to Europe (and I had there my 2nd lockdown!).
This photographs were taken in an area of 100 sq meters and were my way to keep my family and friends updated while I was posting them on the social media.
Gracias amigo Lama, Gabriela, Jaime y Joaquin (mi amicco).
