CAOS
Caos is a visual exploration of Corabastos, Bogotá’s central wholesale market and one of the largest food distribution hubs in Latin America. For over a decade, I have documented this space from above using drones, observing its monumental scale, its shifting dynamics, and its constant tension between order and overflow.
The project began as part of a broader aerial investigation of Bogotá, developed in collaboration with photographer Alejandro Pabón. Over time, my focus narrowed to this specific space where thousands of people, trucks, goods and routines converge daily. From the air, Corabastos appears as a living system: regulated by rigid infrastructure, yet powered by a chaotic energy that constantly exceeds it.
Rather than creating a literal chronicle of the site, I aim to approach its complexity through long-term observation. The images in Caos do not attempt to explain how the market functions, but to offer a visual reading of its contained energy. In this saturated space, disorder is not a flaw, but a driving force.
This project stands at the intersection of documentary and abstraction. Each image suggests more than it shows, inviting viewers to pause over the patterns, textures and unintentional choreographies that emerge from human exchange. The market appears not only as an economic structure, but as a mirror of a broader social order — intense, unequal, and profoundly human.
