Between the visual and the narrated: approaches to the collection of photographs of Mexico at the American Historical Exposition of 1892.

  • Marisol Domínguez González

In 1892 Mexico participated in the American-Historical Exposition of Madrid for which it made an exhibition proposal that included a collection of 768 photographic objects. This article sketches a research work done on these materials: it unfolds ways of approaching the images by considering their contextualization as a set and their relationship with other documentary sources, as well as emphasizing their construction as a documentary corpus that oscillates between the visual and the written and that works to address aspects of the presence and representation of the country in the exhibition.
