Martín Weber

In a photographic series that he made between 1992 to 2013, Martín Weber posed an evocative query—“What is your dream?”—to several people across Latin American countries. In the Mapa de Sueños Latinoamericanos—which translates to Map of Latin American Dreams—the people Weber encounters are portrayed next to a small blackboard, on which they write their responses to his question. The portraits provide a map of human diversity while capturing the political, economic, and social ills of the region—sometimes eliciting hope, at other points, disbelief.
