Marking his third book shot in South America, Dodgson’s latest project documents a week-long journey through Peru on Belmond’s luxury sleeper train, the Andean Explorer.
Travelling from Cusco to Arequipa, the project jumbles spectral shots of open expanses and weather-beaten architecture with the energy of bustling markets, tender portraits of locals, and moments of introspection on the road. Some of the most striking images are still lifes inspired by Dutch vanitas paintings, in which Dodgson arranges snacks, wonky root vegetables, and curious found objects into tactile vignettes of everyday life in Peru.
