" The famous definition of the novel by Stendhal - a mirror worn the long of a road - very well could apply to The Last City. But Ortiz's Monasterio is a mirror selective, precise and relentless, which only keeps what is worth preserving. " - José Emilio Pacheco
The city of Mexico presents a post-apocalyptic paradigm, rivaled perhaps only with Los Angeles - a metropolis ravaged by the immense poverty, crime and the adverse effects of the overpopulation. A street photographer working in the tradition of documentary imagery, Ortiz Monasterio reveals the fragmentation of Mexico City.
