"DARIÉN", the photobook by Colombian photographer Federico Rios Escobar, documents the harrowing journey of migrants crossing the Darién Gap. This moving photographic narrative captures, over the past several years, the human cost of pursuing the American dream for those traveling from Venezuela, China, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Haiti, and more, on their way to the United States, fleeing the social, political, and economic tensions of their home countries.

"DARIÉN" presents a continuous dialogue of the arduous journey faced by migrants through roads, rivers, páramos, streets, beaches, seas, and jungles. The concrete jungle quickly gives way to a muddy, treacherous wilderness filled with rivers and vipers, where armed human dangers lie in wait. The persistent motivation to continue, even when strength and nourishment are scarce, is the vital desire to reach the dream and embrace their loved ones.

About — RAYA EDITORIAL is especially focused on thinking, editing, designing, and publishing photobooks. "A photobook is read like a novel, observed like a movie," says Horacio Fernández. It is in the turning of the pages that the photos carry the weight of the narrative. The reader is presented with the possibility of reading a story through images and the interplay they can create together: rhythms, pauses, dialogues, opposites, action-reaction, surprises, climaxes, changes in temperature, temporality, color, and emotions. At RAYA EDITORIAL, we are interested in understanding the photobook as a book-object-experience, where the material, texture, forms, and layers create a cohesive whole that responds to the unique universe of each project. This is why the editing and design work is done collectively and with the participation of the authors in collaborative sessions, which we have called EDITING TABLES.
