P'unchaw in quechua, Andean native tongue means "Day" and is also was the name of the golden idol that represent the sun the Incas most venerated deity, housed in Cuzco's most sacred sun temple, the Qoricancha. It was that animate, ancestral sun light -not the gold it was made of- that made the P'unchaw sacred; but for the Spanish it was just a mute idol, and a valuable one at that. For the past six years, Peruvian photojournalist Victor Zea has been creating a visual testament to how this unique glow continues to inhabit the city of Cuzco. The project is a portray of city's light through the observation of the sun, light and shadows, that animates the city in the golden hours after dawn and before sunset. The resulting publication is a reminder that the city and its inhabitants, however transient, remain illuminated by the glow of the sun, whose movement across the still-visible foundations of Inca palaces and sun temples is the city's most uncommodifiable revelation.
