Javier Silva Meinel (b. 1949 in Peru) is one of the best known South American artist. During 45 years of his photographer's career he developed his own way of understanding photography. He gives us the picture but between an image and saved reality he leaves a gap which must be filled by the viewer. It is a tangle of people and objects piled up in that reality and saved using a photocamera. This makes his photographs grotesque and mysterious, uncertain and intriguing.
