4090... Breathes in the dust

Some photos of the project "Bolivia: 4090... Breathes in the dust" about the experience between the silver and zinc mines in Bolivia. Some portraits, some moments, a short cross-section of a lived experience ended a couple of months ago and started 2 years ago. .At 4090 meters above sea level, in Bolivia, in the center of the Andes, thousands of people live of mining. Cold, rain, snow, dust and a lot of solitude. Humans share their lives with archaic figures like "El Tio"... with the gaze limited by deep shadows and the bleak breath due to the lack of oxygen the miners go down into the bowels of the mountain.
