Photography has acquired over the years an importance that makes it fundamental in terms of recording certain facts, people and cultures, among others. However, as we immerse ourselves in the profound aspects of this practice, we realize how through it we carry out the same exercise that we do when we look and analyze. It is the exercise of fragmenting, of cutting small pictures of our reality or of a reality that moves away from ours and draws our attention precisely because of an exotic component. So, through the idea of photography as fragments of culture, it is also intended to contribute to what are the works on images of indigenous groups in Chile, opening a small window on a sparsely worked topic, which is the photographic image of the indigenous cultures of the north of the country.
