"... an ambitious multimedia tribute to John Cohen's fifty-year long fascination with the people, cultures and landscapes of Peru. Cohen took his first photographs in Peru in 1956 and has returned many times, adding musical and film recordings to his still images. Cohen's photographs, which over decades had gathered dust in a barn near his home, and the music, today archived at the Smithsonian Institution, have not been published in their entirety until now."
