| book description |

â€œI made these pictures exactly as if I was taking pictures in Wilkes-Barre, my hometown. I was led only by what I could see on the street. Of course, the extreme newness of this giant country, Mexico, was shocking to me. There really is surrealism in the air.â€ â€”Mark Cohen Between 1981 and 2003, Mark Cohen travelled to Mexico eight times. Seduced by the â€œsurrealistâ€ qualities he found there, Cohen took his camera to the streets of Mexico City, Oaxaca City, and MÃ©rida, as well as other parts of the YucatÃ¡n. Following his split-second impulses, Cohen took his signature â€œgrab shots,â€ often flooding the subjects with the artificial light of the flash. His black-and-white photographs, taken at armâ€™s length with minimal focus, capture the textures and rhythms of gritty city streets and city life. Reminiscent of Cohenâ€™s iconic photographs of working-class Pennsylvania towns, yet imbued with a perceptible sense of foreignness, these Mexican images convey the restless energy and strangeness of daily life.
