Graciela Iturbide. Pájaros

Birds have long been used as a metaphor for messengers of the spirit, an association that comes naturally for a creature that exists so comfortably between earth and the heavens above. Under the gaze of one of Mexico\´s greatest photographers, they take on an added mystery that is enhanced by constant reminders of their frailty. Iturbide\´s magnificent work is solidly rooted in the world which surrounds us, yet is tinged by the fantastical spirituality of a Latin American vision.
