Over four decades, her work has bridged the documentary and the poetic, exploring dreams, ritual, religion, and travel as central themes.

A unique opportunity to delve into the visual universe of an artist who transforms reality into visual poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book accompanies an exhibition dedicated to Graciela Iturbide and analyzes her creative process as a continuous vital exploration. Iturbide's work, shaped by her upbringing in a Catholic and bourgeois Mexican context, is characterized by a recurring interest in symbols and rituals that, although renounced, remain deeply rooted in her perspective. The photographer, now a practicing agnostic, moves between the documentary and the poetic, uniting life and dreams. Through her images, nature and culture, ancestral traditions, rites incorporated into daily life, and the symbolism of ordinary objects occupy a central place, offering the viewer a unique and deeply personal vision of Mexico and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe exploration of dreams and the oneiric as part of the life experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRitual and religion in Mexican culture, from the ancestral to the everyday.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTravel as a process of personal and artistic discovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe symbolism of objects and their integration into daily life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe tension between the documentary and the poetic in contemporary photography.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCultural identity and the Catholic and bourgeois heritage in the artist's work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis catalogue is aimed at photography lovers, art students and professionals, as well as collectors and followers of Graciela Iturbide's work.
