Pierre Verger photography book presented in Ayacucho
A new book titled ‘Pierre Verger: Un fotógrafo en la encrucijada de la nación andina, 1942-1946’ has been presented in Ayacucho, Peru. The publication recovers and analyzes the photographic work of French photographer Pierre Verger, who documented the Peruvian Andes during the 1940s.
Edited by historian Juan Carlos La Serna Salcedo and Ivo Edgar Villafuerte Acuña, the work includes research into Verger’s career and his connections with national museums and cultural institutions. The photographs capture various aspects of Andean life, including popular festivals, markets, and streets, providing insight into the social and cultural transformations of that era.
The book also explores the historical interest in the cultural expressions of indigenous and mestizo populations during the 1940s, a period when specialists began increasing research into folklore and popular art. The collection includes specific imagery from Ayacucho, such as the Cerro Acuchimay and local fairs.
