Interrupción en La Araucanía. Registro estenopeico de un eclipse | Macarena Quezada Bilbao

The photobook Interrupción en La Araucanía is the result of a two-year photographic research, which culminates in this publication on eclipses, experimental photography and cycles. This project is an invitation to think about the interruptions of life, the territory and the way in which identity is intertwined with the land, and the sky we inhabit.

This publication began with the question of what happened to the line that marks the trajectory of the sun in a solarigraphic image on the day of the eclipse. Twenty people accepted the invitation and photographed the solar eclipse with cameras made from beverage cans.

In this way, an astronomical event generated ideas and poetry to conclude on an art project.
