Abstract
The following paper analyzes the work of two photographers that worked in Chile between the years 1930 and 1960. It refl ects on a corpus of Chilean Norte Grande photographs, aiming to defi ne the patterns of photographic production and trying to understand how these infl uence and/or determinate certain forms of otherness representation in the Chilean desert and its altiplano. The paper will carry a comparative analysis between photographs produced by the lens of an aesthete such as Roberto M. Gerstmann Henckel and the images registered by a documentalist, such as Antonio Quintana Contreras, so as to establish formal and aesthetical differences and coincidences in the way they materialize photographic representations of the Andes world.
