Eustaquio Mamani

Eustaquio Mamani has spent over five decades tending to the solitary railroad switch on the salt flats near Uyuni, Bolivia. Living in a humble cluster of corrugated huts, he has forged a bond with the neighborhood dogs, whom he guides away from danger. His fascination with how paint absorbs heat underpins his artistic creations, echoing his concerns over the enduring effects of nature on manmade structures.
