In Tres Viajes, German photographer Jörg Brüggemann, director of the Ostkreuz school in Berlin, explores Chile through a three-part series and examines the complex relationships that develop between individuals. In Mi Madre Tiene Novio (2018), Brüggemann sets out in search of his mother, who died ten years earlier, and the signs that appeared to him in a dream. Starting in Chile, he crossed the South American continent until he returned to the place where he learned of her death. The photographs bring together the pieces of this dream, illustrating his relationship with his mother and his approach to grief.

A year later, Brüggemann produced the series El Derecho De Vivir En Paz (2019). The German photographer returned to Chile to find a country in the throes of social unrest. The Chilean people rose up violently against their government and the injustices they were suffering. Witnessing this historic uprising of unprecedented scale, Jörg Brüggemann offers an immersion into the violence on the streets.

The last series in the book, Aguas Que No Has De Beber (2022), focuses on a woman and a man separated by miles: she is on the Chilean coast, he is in the mountains. This more peaceful series poetically illustrates the power of Chilean nature and the invisible bonds created between two beings. A text by Jörg Brüggemann, translated into French, English, Spanish, and German, accompanies the three series and concludes the book.
