Between 1981 and 2003, Mark Cohen made several trips to Mexico. Captivated by this place, which he describes as “surreal,” he wandered the streets of Mexico City, Mérida, and Oaxaca with his camera, without any anthropological or social agenda. In the space of a few fractions of a second, Mark Cohen gets very close to his subjects and captures them on the fly, sometimes dazzled by the artificial light of the flash. His black-and-white shots, taken at arm’s length and mostly without aiming, capture fragments of gestures, postures, or bodies. These images exude a nervous energy and a sense of the strangeness of everyday life.
