"Following the path of Charles Kroehle, a pioneering nineteenth-century photographer who supposedly disappeared in the Peruvian Amazon, Arguiñe Escandón and Yann Gross describe an unreal immersion into the dense jungle vegetation, structured by shamanic experiences, and develop a process of organic photography.
“Aya” in Quichua language, means: ghost, soul or spirit.
Using both ancient and contemporary images, Aya offers a dialogue between two divergent points, the historical representation of the Amazon and one’s own sensory experience."
