104 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Stendhal's famous definition of the novel--a mirror carried along a road--could well apply to The Last City. But Ortiz Monasterio's is a selective mirror, precise and implacable, which retains only that which is worth preserving." --José Emilio PachecoMexico City presents a post-apocalyptic paradigm, rivaled only, perhaps, by Los Angeles. It is a metropolis ravaged by immense poverty, crime and the ill-effects of overpopulation. As a street photographer working in the tradition of committed documentary image-making, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio (born 1952) reveals Mexico City's fragmentation.
