Untitled from "La Rinconada, Peru" Series

Correa’s documentation of the fringes of human civilization explores the limits, isolation, and precariousness of the nature of existence – highlighting composition and beauty within unknown or inaccessible spaces. From the remotest mountains to the wealthiest of families, Correa applies a pseudo-academic approach of study, fieldwork, and publication of a sort of anthropological exploration of the extremes of human experience. In this work, the artist exposes an aspect of human existence in La Rinconada, a town in the Peruvian Andes located near a gold mine and the highest permanent settlement in the world.
