Quiulacocha is a visual project that uses photographic alchemy as a metaphor for the impact of mining on the health of the inhabitants of Cerro de Pasco, a town in the central Andes of Peru. The photographer, Marco Garro, collected samples of the tailings dumped in what was once Lake Quiulacocha, to use in the development of the photographs. The toxic liquid leaves marks and textures on the photographs that mimic the way pollution marks life and the environment. ‘I wanted to ‘reveal’ the corrosive impacts of mining on health and the environment that we would often prefer not to see.
