El fotógrafo de bolsillo

Graphic designer López Castro presents a collection of photographs of street paintings of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a methodological documentation project of a distinctive Mexican folkart he started in 2002 and that culminated in the present book that includes the prologue of anthropologist Roger Bartra. Of the book the author states -"The Guadalupana is the virgin of the poor. That is why in this book I try to make it evident how each Mexican paints her as best as they can, as they need her or with the only purpose of having her present during their daily street walking."

"The birds, now immobile were organized in a scanner and converted into disturbing [photographic] images that maintain their vigorous splendor, sumptuous colors; the eternal presence of the beautiful "Duino Elegies" where poet Rainer Maria Rilke sings to the lethal birds of the soul and the beauty of the angels that announce their death are the inspirational reference for the artist"--Colophon. Includes short story "The man who spoke with birds" by Ethel Krauze.
