Amongst the pictures chosen for asor one won’t find Iturbide’s iconic images of the Zapotec people or photographs of the ritual goat slaughter by the Mixtec in Oaxaca that brought her to an international audience. Rather we are shown another side of Iturbide’s photographic quest. In a book without text and using only our imagination and Iturbide’s photographs as a guide, the viewer is taken on a journey into a fantasy world, suspended in time, where empty landscapes, deserted buildings, clocks, birds, peculiar mythical creatures and figures inhabit the pages. An excursion through the mind of the photographer where we are following our own narrative, free to read and interpret the images.
