Glyphosate and Goliath 🥕
A lighter load at day’s end in Almolonga, where rapid religious conversion coincided with miraculously large carrots carried to market on women’s heads #psychogeography #dérive #BelieveInFilm #VisualEthnography #Guatemala #35mm

A woman stands suspended in the high, unforgiving midday sun of a cobblestone street, bearing a wooden crate perfectly balanced upon her head. Her silhouette is a study in quiet endurance, her patterned blouse and long skirt grounding her against the dusty incline of the cobblestone road. In her left hand, she holds a second, empty blue basin, a day at the markets has come to an end. To her right, a motorized tuk-tuk retreats into the haze, its boxy frame dissolving into the overexposed glare that washes over the right side of the frame. The architecture rises in uneven, concrete tiers of balconies and shuttered storefronts, crisscrossed by a chaotic web of overhead power lines that slice the sky into geometric fragments. In the cool, deep shadows on the left, figures hover on the margins of steps, half-obscured, watching or simply waiting out the heat. The entire scene is bathed in a distinct, nostalgic film grain, capturing a fleeting intersection of modern labour and timeless tradition.
