About the artwork
Laguna 96
What I remember: Laguna 96 is supposed to be one of the easiest tourist trails in Peru. At least that’s what they told us. I didn’t finish it. At the end I had to bend over every couple of steps trying to breathe. They send me back on my own to wait by the bus and the whole time I was scared to get lost and die and the beautiful landscape of Peru.
