The watercolor drawings of the series Equatorial Diaries were created in the context of the artistic research project Unfinished histories. As part of this project, Alexander Glandien traveled more than 6000km through South America in the footsteps of Alexander von Humboldt and during this entire trip he created a detailed travel diary and countless drawings and watercolors.
All drawings are 32 x 24 cm in size.

Almost the entire Pacific coast of Peru is characterized by extreme drought. Because many people don't have access to clean water, they try to produce water from the existing fog with the help of so-called Atrapanieblas (fog catchers). In the mountain regions along the coast and in the hills around Lima, various constructions are used to stretch fine-meshed nets on which the mist condenses, and it is finally collected as water in containers.
Supported by the NGO Peruanos sin agua, Alexander Glandien visited these facilities and with the water extracted from the fog he created a series of watercolor paintings that depict these fog catchers.
