Where the devil died of thirst (2020 - Ongoing)
For more than ten years, Chile's central zone has been experiencing a mega-drought phenomenon. In addition to climate change, the Chilean water management model, set up during Pinochet' dictatorship and based on privatization oriented towards productive activities, has contributed to this situation. In Petorca province, Valparaíso Region, the avocado industry established by the neoliberal model in the 90s has made water even more scarce, causing the main rivers to dry up and changing the locals' lives. "Where the devil died of thirst" is an ongoing photographic project that documents the socio-environmental impact caused by agribusiness in Petorca province and the sustainable alternatives that the community is developing to face extractivism.
