In the mid-1980s, Lorry Salcedo Mitrani centered his photo work in the life in El Carmen district, in Chincha, Ica. His artistic production can be interpreted both as a documentary record or as an approach to community members, which was initially focused on Ballumbrosio family. In addition to their historical and aesthetic value, images of El Carmen between 1985 and 1996 are an exploration of daily life, routine, work, celebrations and music.
