In "Si no existe el mas allá, la injusticia del pobre se prolonga eternamente" (If there is no afterlife, the injustice of the poor lingers perpetually), Colectivo MR addresses social issues such as discrimination and racism through a series of staged photographs. These portraits place a family from the Peruvian Andes in their traditional dress in settings throughout the wealthy districts of Lima.  By doing so, the irony of their seemingly being out of place in their own country is evident.  Colectivo MR is a collaboration between photographer Marina Garcia Burgos (Peru) and art critic Ricardo Ramon Jarne (Spain).
