Images of faith. Visual sociology of La Condesa neighborhood in Mexico City.

  • Hugo Jose Suarez

The video is the result of an investigation that sought to account for religious diversity in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. The collection of information was carried out between 2016 and 2018. By allowing the images to be the protagonists, a visual argument is built, woven with an oral story that explains the three dominant matrices in this neighborhood: Catholicism, in its official version, popular religiosity or angelic devotion; the expansion of yes and the culture of "self-improvement" and alternative therapies; and oriental religious expressions. The documentary shows a territory in transformation, where the landscape of faith touches the traditional boundaries of what is understood as religious.
