During a journey of five months, Bruno Giliberto travelled from the Peruvian border to Cape Horn along the Chilean coast. The trip was made in a 4x4 vehicle, in which it was possible to sleep and cook throughout the journey, a minimum requirement for the immersion, research and sensitivity work required by MAREA.
Since the beginning of romanticism, "The wanderer's journey has long been considered as an allegory of our journey through life. Traversing the dangers and beauties of life and nature came to symbolize man's journey through life and his search for understanding and experience.”1
The backbone of MAREA is the journey along the Chilean coast, from the border with Peru to Cape Horn, through the journey where the fieldwork was done, and, as stated in the previous paragraph, symbolically sought by the understanding and experience, not only of the wanderer, but of our relationship as a Chilean society with the sea in the present and our memory. The story was constructed and developed from the journey through the landscape, the geography and the territory.
The entire trip lasted five months, equivalent to 22 weeks, during which a list of approximately 120 places were visited throughout the Chilean maritime territory, an extension of approximately 20,000 km was covered, of which approx. 2,500 were by ferry in the south of Chile.
The final route was structured as the trip and the research developed. The list of places where we stayed overnight is as follows:
