Machu Picchu e Martin Chambi



Hiram Bingham não foi o primeiro a chegar a Machu Picchu e se surpreender, mas teve o mérito de ser a primeira pessoa a reconhecer a importância das ruínas. Outros já tinham precedido.

"Meu avô respeitado Machu Picchu pelo seu afastamento e majestade", diz Allain, que retém as imagens e várias centenas mais placas digitalizada. Ele não se lembra de quantas vezes Martin Chambi foi para a maravilha atual do mundo.

Vargas Llosa diz Chambi:

"É arriscado exagerar o valor de depoimento de suas fotos. Eles têm, também, mas eles expressam a ele, tanto quanto o ambiente em que ele viveu e testemunhou (...) que quando você colocar uma câmera atrás de um gigante, uma força inventor verdadeiro, recriando a vida "tornou-se.





Martin Chambi sempre procurou para saber mais sobre seu ofício, aprender com os mais velhos em Arequipa (onde muito jovem, ele conheceu os irmãos Vargas), em Cuzco, Lima ou no exterior.

Machu Picchu  y Martin Chambi


Hiram  Bingham no fue el primero en llegar aMachu Picchu y quedar asombrado, pero  tuvo el mérito de ser la primera persona en reconocer la importancia de las ruinas. Otras personas  lo habían antecedido.

De los fríos registros arqueológicos pasemos a las  imágenes. Martin Chambi, fotógrafo peruano, se encargó dedemostrar al Perú y el mundo el encanto y majestuosidad de Machu  Picchu con un  conjuntode hermosas fotografías, en blanco  negro, que impactan por la calidad de los encuadres y el contenido de las fotografías.

Martín Chambi Jiménez (5 de noviembre de 1891, 13 de septiembre de 1973)nació en la provincia puneña de Carabaya, Puno. Proveniente de una familia de agricultores, se convirtió con los años en uno de los fotógrafos más importantes que ha tenido el Perú.

Cusqueño por voluntad,Chambi supo retratar en su verdadera esencia la vida de su tiempo, en el campo y la ciudad.Está considerado como pionero de la fotografía de retrato. Reconocido por sus fotos de profundo testimonio biológico y étnico, ha retratado profundamente a la población peruana, tanto a los indígenas como a la población en general.



Chambi fue un fotógrafo documental, lo que no anula su talento artístico. Las fotografías de Machu Picchu retratan el ingreso a una ciudadela abandonada y aún dominada por la selva, pero también exponen, desde sus encuadres, con las sombras y los enfoques, una sustancia fundamental del sitio.




Entre 1924 y 1928 Martín Chambi y Juan Manuel Figueroa tomaron muchas  fotografías en Machu Picchu que fueron publicadas en diferentes revistas peruanas, masificando el interés local sobre las ruinas y convirtiéndolas en un símbolo nacional. 





Según Teo Allain, su nieto, Machu Picchu fue uno de sus lugarespredilectos, lo que se refleja en el amplio registro fotográfico del lugar. “Mi abuelo respetaba Machu Picchu por su lejanía y majestuosidad”, dice Allain, quien conserva imágenesdigitalizadas y varioscientos de placas más. No recuerda cuántas veces Martín Chambi fue a la hoy considerada maravilla del mundo.





Vargas Llosa dice de Chambi: “Es arriesgado insistir demasiado en el valor testimonial de sus fotos. Ellas lo tienen, también, pero ellas lo expresan a él tanto como al medio en que vivió y atestiguan (...) que cuando se ponía detrás de una cámara se volvía un gigante, una verdadera fuerza inventora, recreadora de la vida”.




Martín Chambi buscó siempre saber más de su oficio, aprender de sus mayores en Arequipa (donde muy joven conoció a los hermanos Vargas), en el Cuzco, en Lima o en el extranjero.
