The following documentary research is about the Alasitas, miniature craftwork that represent some of the material goods people would like to own. Originally from the highlands (Altiplano), the Alasitas come from the tradition of the illas and the apachetas, they are recreated in many forms of representation of the essential concepts of the cosmovision of the contemporary highland men and woman. The Alasitas, through fairs and commemorations, they are a living practice in constant growth. They are also a container and a vehicle revitalizing a series of cultural, social, commercial and ritual processes, which makes them interesting from a visual anthropological perspective. Thus, by means of an ethnographic documentary, this work intends to explore and make known the Alasitas from an anthropological point of view, in an attempt to record in images and sounds their aesthetic, mimetic, symbolic and ritual richness. The research seeks to approach the object in its material and immaterial dimension in order to understand, from that duality and complementarity, the way in which profound manifestations of faith coexist with commercial dynamics essential to the Altiplano region. In the documentary and the text that comes with it, we propose to follow the history of the Alasitas, their paths, transformations and the way in which they have created and sustain what we could call "popular capitalism" in Puno, making it happen and turning it into a powerful cultural manifestation of its own.
