MAREA documents Chile’s coastline through large-format analog photography and field sound recording. In 2023, a five- month journey spanning approximately 20,000 km from the border with Peru to Cape Horn produced an archive of around 140 analogue 4x5 images across more than 120 locations. The project explores the dialogue between humans, water, and landscape, tracing historical absences, environmental transformations, and cultural memory along the shore. At its core, MAREA investigates our physical and sensory relationship with the coast, how we inhabit it, how we remember it, and how we search for meaning within it. The ocean, vast and uncontrollable, has always demanded something of us beyond knowledge. It asks us to feel.
