This project aims to represent Andean Countries stuck in between the Past and Future. I choose diptych as format to catch social and cultural dualism, a long time stratification of Society: indigenous vs colonist, the rich vs poor, the native people vs the conquerors, National Borders vs Indigenous Territory. Native traditions and habits are radicated in National Countries such as the Western culture and influence. Recently the rights of indigenous people have been denied, unemployment has increased, social and racial tensions have become complicated in an already difficult political crisis.

Nicoletta Cerasomma is a pop surrealist photographer, based in Lucca, Italy, with a background in staged photography. Her work is bound to an ambiguous and cinematic image-making between reality and imagination. As visual artist, her approach to photography aims to provoke contemplation and a new redefinition of commonplaces through a playful revelation of the bizarre and the uncanny.
