MEXICO - Mark Cohen
Between 1981 and 2003, Mark Cohen made several trips to Mexico. Seduced by this place, which he described as "surreal", he took his camera around the streets of Mexico City, Merida and Oaxaca, with no anthropological or social intentions. In the space of fractions of a second, Mark Cohen gets very close to his subjects and catches them on the fly, sometimes dazzled by the artificial light of the flash. His black-and-white shots, taken at arm's length, mostly without aiming, capture fragments of gestures, postures and bodies. These images exude a nervous energy and a strangeness of the everyday.
