Latin Spirit 365 Days: The Wisdom, Landscape and Peoples of Latin America

by Danielle Föllmi, Olivier Föllmi

From the high Andes to the Mexican desert, Olivier Follmi travelled through this vast continent to witness the celebrations, rituals and traditions of an Indian indigenous life rich with an uncommon fusion of Christian and local traditions. In village after village and day after day, Olivier Follmi discovered new ways of seeing as he sought to understand and capture through photography the intimate connection linking the peoples to their ancestral land. As in the series' other volumes, each photograph is accompanied by daily wisdom drawn from oral or literary traditions. Danielle Follmi, who is originally from El Salvador, oversaw the selection of texts, which are drawn from traditional sources as well as the great works of Latin American literature and its Nobel Prize laureates."
