Scanning Arequipa
With only three days to go until our Rough Edges Issue comes out, we thought it fitting to run with a series that’s been tantalising our rough-sides so much we actually featured it in September’s edition at the last minute. Yves Decamps’ Scanning Arequipa series documents his four-year stay in Peru, where he settled with his wife and children. Allowing everyday experiences to guide his lens, he focused on the small and wonderful, the riveting result providing a beautiful testimony to the region’s quirks, heavy catholic heritage, omnipresent landscape imagery, and extreme security measures.
