Mark Cohen, Mexico

Preview

In the course of eight trips to Mexico between 1981 and 2003, the American photographer Mark Cohen traveled to Mexico City, Merida, Oaxaca, and Yucatan. Impressed by a land he calls “surreal,” the artist wanders around with his camera, with no anthropological or social agenda.

Mark Cohen writes: “I took these pictures exactly the same way I did in Wilkes-Barre, my hometown. I simply got caught up in whatever was in front of me, out there, in the street. I was really fascinated by the extreme novelty of this giant city. There’s something surreal in the air over there. A simple cardboard box looks different at night, in Mexico City, either that or it’s what one feels in this marvelous place looking at a cardboard box, and then it gets seamlessly transferred onto film.”
