BOLD Photography by Diego Lama

This series of six panoramic photographs from Peruvian artist Diego Lama were taken in Lima in 2007. The large format works featuring dramatic, theatrical atmospheres emphasize a contrast between the bodies and the perfectly organized spaces. Solitary figures seem out of place in various stylized areas. Lama describes the series as a testimony about the cultural politics in Peru. The spaces he chose to photograph are all part of cultural institutions of restricted access.
