About

The book Tiempos de América brings together images that capture the complexity of the Latin American continent, addressing themes such as religiosity, social inequalities, the vitality of marginalized sectors and the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. With a strong and refined visual style, and a carefully constructed composition, Pedro Meyer achieves photographs that move between surrealism and hyperrealism. His work offers a deep portrait of the cultural contradictions of Latin America in an exercise that also reveals his own personal search.
