CITY #6 POST SCRIPT: LEARNING FROM OKLAHOMA

(…) Where is the strong body with a slow stride, but safe, of the Indian?

Instead, I find a paralyzed body that has been attacked by the contagious disease of "modernism” The Peruvian, (…) a result of the perfect identification with the elements of earth. Encased in Easter care packages, manufactured wholesale.

Keep boxing yourselves in, and put flowers, because this is more than physical death, it is the death of feelings and emotions.

Letter of Victoria Autumn to Fernando Belaunde.
