Hello, I am Camilo José Vergara. I was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1944. My work revolves around documenting and capturing the essence of American slums and deteriorating urban environments. Through rephotography, I have been able to track the evolution of various cities across the United States, highlighting the changes that unfold over time. With a background in sociology, I delve into the intricate interplay between urban landscapes and societal dynamics, particularly focusing on areas experiencing urban decay.
