Daniel Chauche

Daniel Chauche, born to a French father and an American mother in 1951, found his true calling in photography. He studied art at the University of Florida where, in 1979, he earned a Masters degree in Fine Arts, which he then taught. At 25, Chauche moved to Guatemala. He arrived in late 1975 with his ex-wife, an anthropologist, and settled in Escuintla. Following the 1976 earthquake, they became deeply involved with the local community. Chauche sees himself as a visual historian – a graphic chronologer – of his adoptive country. Half French and half American, has lived and worked in Guatemala for over three decades. His photographs document the lives – urban and rural, landed and labor bonded, military and guerrilla – of Guatemalans from the highlands to the coasts. The images presented here are from a series of folios entitled "Los Chapines", "Ser Guatemalteca", "Ser Un Hombre", "Santeria Chapina" and "Los Magueys". Most photographs were made in the late 1970s and early 1980s, during the guatemalan genocide. In them the viewer can sense, only two decades distant, the history that Chauche strives to capture in his work. Daniel Chauche’s photography can been seen in several galleries in Antigua, including La Antigua Galeria de Arte on 4th Calle and he can be contacted directly at Dchauche@conexion.com.gt
