Cultural Writing. Latino/Latina Studies. Art. A human body, fruit, a flower, a child, a fish, a horse, an old photograph photographed in the snow--in her images this Mexican artist collects lost fragments, fragments of everyday life, some melancholic, some agonizing, of her homeland, Mexico, and her reminiscences; she allows us to perceive all the sensuality and physicality of the body and facial expression, all the nostalgia for a world unavoidably becoming lost in the great shift towards approval. Hers is a language which, with the passing of time, has touched upon not so much the simplicity as the secret complexity of the subject. A language that is pure theatre. If it is true, as Walter Horatio Pater wrote, that all art has a tendency towards music, we may perhaps consider this path through thirty images of Silent Nature as a kind of musical variation on a theme. A Borgesian game of chess, in which the board and piecesmultiply and are transformed, as in a dream. Born in Mexico City in 1957, her two homes are in Stabio and Tepoztlan . She studied at the San Carlos Academy in her home city, and then became assistant to Manuel Alvarez Bravo until 1980, when she began her independent career as photographer. She published her first book of photography in 1985, Magia del juego eterno. Many others followed, amongst which: Bestiarium, Witnesses of Time, Mestenos and Mummenschanz. Her works are displayed in no less than 35 museums.
