NO TITLE - Graciela Iturbide
Graciela Iturbide studied cinema in Mexico City, but ended up in a not uninteresting part-time job in photography, as assistant to Manuel Alvarez Bravo. Moreover, this solo profession gave her complete freedom to travel around Mexico and discover her own country. Iturbide has no interest in photographic styles or systematic projects. She photographs intuitively and sees the camera primarily as an excuse to come into contact with people, their lives and their celebrations. Working in this spontaneous way, she records the everyday life of Mexicans, in which the time of the Aztecs is always still present in the background.
