"There are the coordinates, the prejudices and the scenarios. Records and notes of possible narratives where identities, histories and cultures are manifested, overlap and reconstructed in a diversity of perceptions, narratives and understandings.

The documentary work La Paz, is a photographic journey through the streets of the city of La Paz in Bolivia, during different periods of time. Walking randomly through the city and photographically meditating on the possibilities and limitations of contemporary documentary narratives. Images that through encounters with people and landscapes, the city was sharing at the crossroads of its historical transformation at the beginning of the 21st century.
