Graciela Iturbide, Heliotropo 37
Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris
12.02.2022 — 29.05.2022

— Stephen Horne

A transposition to Paris of the Mexican studio of the photographer Graciela Iturbide, Heliotropo 37 covered five decades of her work. Stephen Horne saw “narratives of an anthropological humanism and of the botanical landscape” as central themes for this exhibition of more than two hundred images. He describes some of the photographs, including the emblematic Carnaval (1974), which expresses “a ritual in which the objectivity of the camera merges with the life of dream.” “Iturbide turns a realist documentary aesthetic into a Mexico of dream, story, magic, art, and imagination,” Horne suggests. “With [her], we can see that, rather than capturing an already existing past, a photograph is always itself in the present. The Mexico that she photographs does not pre-exist her photographs; her photographs are Mexico.”
