Abstract

At the cusp of disarmament, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia–People's Army (FARC-EP) held a giant weeklong media event in the middle of its territory along the northern edge of the Amazon basin. This photo essay explores the anxious moments of venturing into a mixed realm where they wore both military fatigues and civilian clothes as well as the group's efforts to control the media even as it was being manipulated by it. My photographs strive to capture the tensions coursing through the event itself and the liminal moment of the FARC-EP's then-imminent disarmament. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
