about

Caminando a la orilla de Chicabal, un sagrado lago volcánico del altiplano de Guatemala, paramos a una distancia de un grupo de mujeres Maya-Mam en ceremonia, colocando sus ofrendas de flores en el agua. El sonido de sus oraciones flota sobre el agua plácida, una canción de suplicación y lamentación. Nos sentamos sobre la hierba, comimos pan dulce con olor a anís, escuchamos hasta que el tono descendente de sus voces se silencia, y nos llega solo el sonido del agua, las canciones de los pájaros, los perros en el monte. Hay cosas que no se deben grabar.

Guatemala, julio-agosto 2017

Walking round the shore of Chicabal, a sacred volcanic lake in the western highlands of Guatemala, we stop at a distance from a group of Maya Mam women in ceremony, placing offerings of flowers in the water. The sound of the women’s prayers floats across the placid water, a song of beseeching and lamentation. We sit in the grass, eating sweet bread fragrant with anise, listening, until the descending tones of their voices are silent, and we hear only the lapping of water, calls of birds, the stray dogs in the underbrush. There are things that should not be recorded.
