Book excerpt: A photographic essay comprising more than 80 black and white gelatin silver prints of nude males (working class and models) from diverse South American countries, taken by prestigious art photographer Marcos Zimmermann (b. Argentina 1950) in their natural environment. Describing his work, Zimmermann comments: -"A series de of photographic portraits of men from 7 countries of South America stripped of their clothes and caught in their own worlds. Exposed to all, only with their physical attributes and the environment that defines them. Stripped of everything that covers them and surrounded only by the small things that protect them. And after all, isn't this double crudeness more in accordance with the image of a region as hard as the South American history?"-P. [1]. Marcos Zimmermann was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
