Entry, Glorieta Castle, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

Sucre’s Glorieta Castle is a spectacular architectural hodgepodge, a fusion of styles mixing Moorish with Chinese, Byzantine with Rococo, Romanesque with English Gothic. It’s entrance, for example, pairs striking stained glass windows with Moorish arches. I interpret this entrance here by photographing an indigenous Bolivian caretaker framed in glowing backlight within the castle’s front door. For more than 40 years, the castle was left to decay. Over the last quarter century, the site has been classed as a Bolivian national monument and its now empty rooms are open to visitors.
