In Marcona, his second book with Toluca Éditions/RM, Pablo Hare (Lima 1972), gathers 19 photographs taken during the summers of 2005 and 2006 in the town of San Juan de Marcona, a mining enclave located in the desertic South-Pacific coast of Peru, in the province of Nazca.
Hare documents the town, which was built in the 1950s by theAmerican Marcona Mining Company, the mining union andthe decadence of a social and labour model which disappeared after a history of nationalizations, bankruptcies and privatizations.
