Héctor Rojas
the back streets of Valparaiso, Chile
Héctor Rojas has woven his life into the vibrant streets of Valparaíso, Chile, where the echoes of rickety carnival rides mark the rhythm of his days. Tending to the persistent needs of the ferris wheel and bumper cars, he lives by the chant of an enigmatic hymn that haunts his every bolt secured, the tune a relic without a name. Relentless in his task, Héctor drifts through nights of restive thought, relentless in his pursuit of the word forever just beyond his grasp.
