Description

Featuring texts by renowned journalists Javier Risco and Javier Solórzano, this visual document offers a profound insight into the patients' experiences and the harrowing moments they endured..

As Javier Risco notes in the prologue:

"Within the tangible, the book you hold in your hands [...] is a fundamental piece in the search for the long-awaited TRUTH. Photojournalist Iván Macías' work leaves no room for falsehood [...] the photographs presented in this document of immense value are the 'Traces' left by 2020 at the epicenter of the tragedy: the hospitals". "Traces of the Pandemic is a testimony of courage, but also of latent hope [...] the jury saw in the gaze of a doctor the marks of exhaustion and effort pushed to the extreme.".
