Abstract: With a "sui generis" aesthetic quality, photographer Marco Antonio Cruz (b. Puebla, Mexico 1957) presents in his most recent work, close to one hundred moving portraits of the spaces and blind people that, metaphorically "Live in Darkness". The selected images are the outcome of a homonymous project Cruz started 16 years ago (in 1987) with an essay on blindness, a research project that made him realized the difficult life and little information in Mexico regarding this handicapped sector of society. Cruz is one of the founders of newspaper "La Jornada" and was a disciple of noted photographers Marina Yampolski, Nacho López, Héctor García y Julio Scherer García. The texts that accompany the images are by poet Jorge Fernández Granados, who suffers with vision problems.
