Title: In Mexico
Description: In Mexico is the second photo book by American visual artist and actress JessicaPhyllis Lange (b. USA 1949) comprising a collection of black-and-white photos of people and places that reflect the "sensitive, human, everyday" side of Mexico with scenesfrom the daily life of many people and of their animals, mostly taken on the Yucutan peninsula."Neither a tourist nor a native, Jessica Langes black and white images of Mexico rely on anoutsiders viewpoint of navigating these seemingly familiar sites and places, through the dailyroutine of people making their momentary passages through them: cafes, boulevards, carnivals,brocades of nearly empty seats. It is a location of hints and guesses, and humanity. Followingthe transitions of days into nights, the primary concern of Lange's "In Mexico" reveals itself inall its Joycean proportions, in transitthe order of life is best observed from the sidelong glanceof the periphery. Book serves as the exhibition catalogue for the show held at the CentroFotográfico Manuel Álvarez Bravo in Mexico, January 2011"--Publisher'swebsite.
