A travel blog made of excerpts from one year spent living in South America. From travel-based stories, to home truths from Chile, to coriander and palta (avocado) recipies. Some poetry, some pictures, some trapeze: this blog will give a flavour of life, loves, losses and politics in Chile and South America.

And the good of being away.

Hello.

I am your paper guide of what promises not to be a paper exhibition.

Inside you will find (…) with which to compose your DIY audiovisual show.

This “exhibition in an envelope” is intended as a taste of Gaia Marcus’s Chile- or her Chile so far.

I hope that through this exhibition you may be able to walk Santiago’s streets- coloured, high-rise, rich, poor and otherwise. Feel her temperatures- from desert cold to desert hot- listen to her catcalls (you’d probably need to be wearing a skirt for this one, although long hair or even just tight jeans might suffice), read her grafitti, feel her pain and laugh with her smiles.

With each exhibit there’s a suggested soundtrack- to hear through the ears of the photographer whilst you see through her eyes and lense.
Hope. A beautful child at a non-violene demo in central Santiago
