Vicuña applies her poetic sensibilities to her hand-tinted photographs of Santiago street life under the Chilean dictatorship

Roaming the streets of 1970s Santiago with a Russian camera in hand, poet-turned-photographer Leonora Vicuña (born 1952) captured its denizens in bars, cinemas and dance halls, hand-coloring and manipulating them to create a dreamlike, imaginary world removed from an austere reality.
