“Una corriente de papel recorre las salas 770 y Raúl Porras Barrenechea del C.C. Ricardo Palma. Sus contorsiones y retorcimientos hablan de la memoria, del presente y del devenir, pero también de la muerte, un tema que no es ajeno a la obra del artista peruano.”
Walter O. Runcie Photographic Archives (AFWOR) website
Originally shaped by Carlos, in stewardship of his grandfather Walter O. Runcie, this website represents a rich twentieth-century photographic archive, with particular relevance to Peru.
It also holds broader significance within the histories of aviation and photography, and remains an archival reference.
