rivers of power

a book about the cyclical nature of disaster and corruption. this was an interesting one for me, i remember thinking that the book should feel like a line that somehow ends where it begins, so a front cover and back cover didn’t make too much sense for it. we decided to put the coverless book inside a hard cardboard box so that the book itself feels flexible and to some extent as if there’s no beginning or end. the sequence is made by archive images from the Monterrey’s fototeca and images made by Alejandro over the course of 10 years, all with the topic of the Santa Catarina river at the center but explored in different ways, from snapshots to large camera images of the river at different years and states of destruction. the publisher was NEWWER, a short-lived experiment that i always thought had some promise, but as most book endeavours was dificult to mantain. i like the way this book feels like sitting back on the couch on a rainy day thinking about and remembering our history with the city of Monterrey and rain, rivers and corruption.
