Paola Pimentel & Johnny Vasquez, Sculptures of Chinchorro Mummies, between Arica and Caleta Camarones, Chile, 2017
Paola Pimentel and Johnny Vásquez were the two artists in charge of giving life and capturing the figures of a couple of giant Chinchorro Mummies, recently inaugurated 100 kilometers from Arica, next to Cuya.
The works are capable of musicalizing the wind, thanks to the interaction of the breeze and the grooves of each sculpture, which generates a series of unique sounds.
The Chinchorro Mummies are installed in the rural town with the primary objective of highlighting the origins of this ancient culture, considered one of the oldest in the world.
