Broken Images: The Figured Landscape of Nazca

"Near Nazca, in Peru, mysterious lines and giant pictographs scratched into the desert floor have led generations of archaeologists--and others--to speculate upon their meaning. Photographer David Parker documents the mysterious lines themselves as well as their commercial appropriation for murals, T-shirts, and tourist trinkets. Despite the tacky commercial exploitation and garish cultural colonization, the `Lines' retain their spiritual power and ancient fascination."--the publisher.
