Sound Desert

Diego Véliz

Chile

This project is the result of an artistic exploration carried out in Arica, the (present-day) Chilean city bordering Peru and Bolivia, in the middle of the Atacama Desert. It consists of 5 works as diverse as the territory they inhabit.

A sonorous walk along the coast, the multiplicity of voices in an international bus terminal, an agricultural market, the ecosystem of an endangered wetland, and the ghosts of an uninhabited train station, are the elements that invite us to listen to the sounds of a borderland.
