This photograph by Los-Angeles based photographer Albert Abdul-Barr Wang is part of a larger body of work reflecting on the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled Chile from 1973-1990. Each photograph in the series depicts a person disappeared by Pinochet’s secret police, carefully reconstructed from forensic analysis, photographic modeling, and archival research from state and family records. Collectively assembled by the artist as a both a memorial and a call to action, these portraits carry the lives of these people into the present.
