This book of photographs, the first to appear in English by Tomás Casademunt (author of Son de Cuba and Fábrica de Santos), offers a look at the famous Zapotec ruins near the city of Oaxaca. After a period of patient field work, Casademunt selected fourteen nighttime views, impeccably composed and taken without concessions to the idyllic or the picturesque. The emblematic nature of the place is transfigured by a vision which seeks to penetrate the timeless mystery of stone and sign. The edition is limited to 1,000 copies, 100 of which include an original signed print by the photographer, and is prefaced by a series of fragments by nineteenth- and twentieth-century archaeologists and travelers. Meticulously produced, this book will be of interest to lovers of photography, architecture, and archaeology alike.
