Quindío Way I consists of images shot by Restrepo during a journey across the Quindío Pass, an important overland route in colonial-era Colombia that is the subject of works by numerous 19th-century traveler artists. Restrepo used his video camera to document the same landscapes as these historical artists, tracking similarities and differences. The result is an installation that emphasizes the continuity of history in the present.
