Perched high in the Cordillera Real of the Andes, between the vast green sea of the Amazonian jungle and the Pacific Ocean, Ecuador is one of the smallest countries of South America. Yet, in an area hardly half the size of France, it contains an astonishing variety of physical extremes: towering mountains, immense tracts of forest, small patches of cultivation, ice, water, even fire. The peaks of the "Avenue of the Volcanoes" feed the torrents which transform the Maranon into the mighty Amazon. Here is to be found the highest point on the equator (from which the country takes its name; and here it was that Pizarro treacherously murdered Atahualpa, and with him the greatest empire of the Americas. But the descendants of the Incas remain. Almost half the population is Indian and speaks Quechua; some still dress in mourning for their last king. They scratch a harsh existence from the mountains, their life ruled by the rhythm of the sun and the moon, the markets and the fiestas. Kevin Kling has captured for us the nuances and riches of this small world that is the very embodiment of the Andes in miniature: the broad curves of volcanic hills with their subtle hues of ocher and green; the texture of the Indians' hair; the intensity of their gaze; the dazzling colors of their clothing. As visions of immutable space or as conspiratorial exchanges, her photographs throw a penetrating and sympathetic light on the bonds which time has woven between the people and an all-embracing nature of contrasts and contradictions that is both beautiful and harsh, sorrowful and sweet: they revere her and carve her image; she enslaves them, fashions their features, and regulates their every movement. Includes 100 color photographs and a map. Kevin Kling's photographs have been exhibited in Paris, London, and New York, and have been published by Time, Life and in international magazines such as GEO and Double Page.
