“I took this photograph in February 2001 and it depicts a manhole cover located on the main square of the town of Río Negro, Tenth Region, Province of Osorno. German settlers some years before World War II installed this manhole cover. They lived in this town since its founding until approximately the early 1960s. Currently the population consists mostly of natives and mestizos. The reversed swastika stands out, looking more like the Hindu swastika than the Nazi emblem. Is it still there?”.
