Paz Errázuriz exhibition at La Maison de l'Amérique Latine, the unfinished stories of the Chilean photographer

 

5

At 79 years old, Paz Errázuriz has never been afraid of anything or anyone. The photographer never trembled, not even in front of the military during Pinochet’s reign. Marked by the dark years of the Chilean dictatorship, the work of this former teacher naturally turned to the invisible people excluded by the regime: beggars, transvestites, prostitutes and vagabonds. Between arrests, persecutions and curfews, this perfect autodidact followed marginalized communities, intervening for several weeks in the daily lives of sex workers, circus artists or patients in psychiatric hospitals. This work allowed him to build strong relationships with his models, women and men ending up humbly posing in front of his lens. From the brothels of Santiago to the caravans of a group of lucha libre wrestlers, this exhibition illustrates the troubled history of Chile while highlighting the "aesthetics of the periphery" so dear to Paz Errázuriz, like this portrait of a boxer outside the ring whose hand bandages seem to heal the wounds of an injured body more than that of a healthy and victorious body.
