Absent Landscapes
Through his photographs, Jonathan Moller questions the thousands of people in Peru whose lives were cut short by the State, the Shining Path terrorists, the Túpac Amaru revolutionary movement, and those who, in the name of defending some supreme ideal, ended the lives of their fellow countrymen. More than 15,000 people disappeared and more than 60,000 Peruvians mercilessly murdered. Moller doesn't allow us to forget those of us who return through his images, searching for answers. Where are they? Is it possible to hide so many thousands of people? What does my son do when he's cold? How does he keep warm? What does he eat when he's hungry?
