Sol Mateo is one of the foremost Bolivian photographer - artists. He is known for his provocative work. He once told me "I never want someone to see an exhibit of mine and then not remeber what it was about." His life's work is compounded by two inescapable facts regarding Bolivia:

-It is very hard to make a life as an artist in a 3rd world country

-It is a very conservative society where both the models and the spectators show a reluctancy to participate with the work.
