The awareness of being looked at: giving a view of the tianguis stall

  • Frances Paola Garnica Quiñones

This photographic essay shows the process of giving view, a practice of presentation of the stall conformed by certain aesthetic elements that allow a crucial communication flow with other actors of the tianguis to ensure its continuity. The importance of the materiality and visuality of the stall is exposed in terms of its aesthetic production and the affectivities and values that are associated with it and that result in a visual language of the market. This essay is derived from the ethnographic work carried out between 2012 and 2013 in collaboration with Ruta 8, one of the associations of merchants enrolled in the Mercado Sobre Ruedas (msr) program, coordinated by the Secretaría de Desarrollo Económico (sedeco) of Mexico City (cdmx).

The Iridescence of the Lanterns: Hiroshima Behind the Lens of Seiji Shinohara

Interview with
  • Seiji Shinohara

  • Arturo Gutierrez del Angel
  • Frances Paola Garnica Quiñones
  • Greta alvarado lugo

Seiji Shinohara's photographs seem to question this image and turn it upside down, because his gaze is not that Hiroshima, but that place that does not coincide with our imagination, lined with large gates, with Buddhist offerings among the alleys, architectural details of Shinto shrines, cobblestone roads, cherry trees reflected in the rivers and daily announcements that insinuate inhabited streets, vivid... leaving out of the frame any silhouette or individual.
