Paz Errazuriz




Today I will write and introduce to my favorite photographer: Paz Errazuriz. Paz has been my favorite photographer for many years, I have had visual and reflexive obsessions with her work.
She is considered one of the most outstanding photographers in Chile, she is National Visual Arts Prize. Her work has a special commitment to black and white portraiture, in which she explores various social issues, emphasizing the crudest worlds and trades of Chilean society.
Her latest book is in collaboration with the writer and biologist Jorge Díaz, and it seeks to broaden the discussions from a perspective embodied in blindness, seeks to address blindness as both a metaphor that has occupied art and literature for centuries, as well as a reality that is lived by thousands of people. What I like about Paz is that it captures images that are realistic and at the same time loaded with poetry. Among her best-known series are: The fight against the angel (1987) dedicated to the world of boxing, The apple of Adam (1990) whose theme is the living conditions of transvestites and quick-change chileans, The infarction of the soul (1992-1994 ) composed of images of couples formed in the psychiatric hospital of Putaendo and Los Nómades del Mar (1991-1995) dedicated to the last living representatives of the Kawésqar ethnic group.

A Family Member

Hi! Although my family is small, it was difficult for me to choose a family member to talk about. Today I will talk about my cousin Juana Libertad Moreno, with her 8 years old she is the youngest in the family. Juanita lives in San Carlos (Ñuble) with her mother, grandmother, and my mother, and their three little dogs: Loba, Chica and Snoopy. She dedicates herself to going to school and being at home playing in the toy room, watching series on Netflix and helping our grandmother. What Juanita enjoys most is reading stories, watching movies and series, drawing and painting many colorful pictures with her hands, and what she least likes to do is go to school, although her favorite subjects are arts and physical education. I like to share with her, because her personality is too intense to be a child, she is very witty and has a great vocabulary to be as young as 8 years old. Whenever I visit her in San Carlos, we play a lot of board games, our favorite is Trivial Pursuit, and while it...

The future

Hello everyone! How difficult it is to think about the future, and the truth is that after the alarming announcements that humanity's life on earth is about to be extinguished by the extraction and misuse of its natural resources at the hand of man , Today my  pronostic is alarming.  However, if I had been asked this question a couple of years ago, my answer would be that I would like to live in southern Chile in a small house away from the city and on the way to the mountain range, I see myself working as a geographer and perhaps researching urbanism and den sification of the cities, I would like to be living with my boyfriend and my beautiful kitten Anika. I still don't decide if I want to have kids someday. In addition, I would like to have an art workshop in my future home, where I can paint paintings and make different crafts, I have always liked the idea of spending my free time in a space just for me and my projects. On the world, I hope that the current climate crisi...

Beach

Hello! this time I would like to tell you that my favorite beaches are in Pelluhue, a city and commune located in the Province of Cauquenes, in the region of Maule. The city has around it five small beaches that with a week's stay can be visited all, enjoy its benefits and admire the rocks that are inside the sea. I like it because it is an hour away from San Carlos, and when I was little we used to travel with my whole family. Every time I go it's like being at home because we always stay at my cousin Nicolas' cabin. Together with my family we have visited different attractions such as: Los Arcos de Calan, Cardonal, Playa La Sirena, Río Chovellen, Curanipe, and Tregualemu. And although the area was hard hit by the 2010 earthquake, the people and the commune have stood up.  Even the last few years I have visited these beaches again, but this time with my friends, fortunately on vacation there are a lot of young people on these beaches. With my friends we love to visit th...
