What does a country look like at the moment it loses its humanity? Developed over four years, the project explores power and violence in Peru following the 2022 coup d’état, using fiction to shed light on a painful reality.

Through a combination of documentary and staged photographs, as well as legal documents, the project constructs a narrative that seeks to convey the experience
of living under the threat of institutional violence. The title Invasion refers to the rise to power of inhuman forces, a metaphor for the advance and violence of the far
right during Peru’s 2022 political crisis.

The images in the project capture this political and psychological atmosphere, while the boundaries between reality and fiction, between the documented and the imagined, become increasingly difficult to distinguish.
