This interview with photographer Roberto Huarcaya was conducted in conjunction with an exhibition that brought together three photographic series – Amazogrammes, Andinogrammes and Océanogrammes – presented at the Rencontres d’Arles in summer 2023. A key figure in contemporary Peruvian photography, Roberto Huarcaya gave the public the opportunity to immerse themselves in images of forms - sometimes recognisable and often indistinct–which were captured on photograms several metres long that depict the Amazon rainforest, the ocean, and even dances. In this interview, he discusses the limitations of the camera when faced with the profusion of Amazonian life, the extreme diversity of the ways to understand the region, and the role of the image in our post-colonial world.
