Abstract

The small photo essay below presents some photographs captured in the city of Lima in Peru in March 2020, what we didn’t know is that this would be one of the last months before the pandemic that would change our looks, feelings and behavior. With the intention of causing strangeness, the photographs present from everyday aspects of the local religiosity, to others that are very delicate and impactful to the external eye, such as the suicide hall in the largest local cemetery, or the tombs of witches, revered even after death in the same cemetery.
