Giovanni Riccò

Pachamama is a photographic project that narrates a twenty thousand kilometers journey across four different South American countries: from the fiords of the Tierra del Fuego to the windy national parks of Patagonia; from the arid desert of Atacama to the imperial ruins of Machu Picchu, passing through the surreal Salar de Uyuni.

​

While traveling through these vast lands, I marveled at their different landscapes, their various traditions and ethnicities, and I encountered flavors I did not know existed.

 

I realized then that being on the road not only forces you to a particular personal growth, but it also presents several challenges, difficulties that often reflect a certain choice, emotion, or are simplyprompted by fear.
