“The air gets very thin, and you are short of breath. Even the locals find it a struggle. Many of them yearn to live in one of the lower districts,” German photographer Peter Bauza recounts after his visit to Bolivia’s capital of La Paz. There he worked on his reportage: Since 2006, Bolivia has been governed and changed by the socialist Evo Morales. He has subjected the Andean state to a complete overhaul, awakening the hope of equality among the indigenous people.
