- Summary:
- Colombia is a land of natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, of rainforests and rivers, of peaceful rural farms and ranches where farmers and gauchos gather for work and leisure. But behind these images of bucolic serenity, the people of Colombia live through considerable hardships. Poverty is prevalent in many isolated parts of the country where state authority is largely absent, and seventy years of armed conflict between the Colombian army, right-wing paramilitary forces, and left-wing guerrilla groups, such as the FARC and the ELN, continue to leave lasting scars. The country's central role in the cocaine trade both provides for and threatens the livelihood of many Colombians. The culmination of almost twenty years spent traveling throughout and photographing Colombia, 'Colombia: On the Brink of Paradise' features more than one hundred incredible photographs by Luca Zanetti.
