Living Atlas Chile

The Atlas Vivo project stems from the conviction that the people of Chile are what make it so special and that showcasing the country’s people is the best way to share its wonders with the world. Each story tells the tale of a Chilean man or woman, from a boy attempting to carve the waves on a beach in Arica to an expert pilot in the wilds of Patagonia; from a lonely community radio broadcaster in a small desert village in the north to a television station run by children on the southern island of Chiloé.

The project consists of 125 videos, filmed across the country, each lasting some three minutes. The tapes are candid, with no special effects, background music or voice overs. Each seeks to provide a unique window into Chile, to reflect the sensations, environments, voices and details that give rise to our collective identity and to share those features with the international community.
