Graciela Iturbide
PHOTOSNACK #733
There’s a rare kind of black-and-white photography that feels both documentary and dreamlike at once—where symbols, gestures, and quiet myths emerge from everyday life with exquisite clarity.
Graciela Iturbide brings this to perfection, using precise framing and deeply cultural storytelling to turn each moment into something unforgettable.
Thank you, Michael Strah, for recommending her work.
Until next time,
Tomasz
For those who may not know, Ms. Iturbide won the 2008 Hasselblad award and Steidl published a fine book to commemorate it.
If you’re in Toronto, you can see some of her work at the Art Gallery of Ontario https://ago.ca/events/recuerdo-latin-american-photography-opening. Recuerdo is a great show.
