Photographer Marco Antonio Cruz (b. Puebla, Mexico 1957) obtains the prodigious images of him with the agility and precision of the lynx, and that once he has done so, he returns to his sad and melancholic gaze, which is a unique way of looking at life. With an archaeological look, this unique work recovers the contexts that gave meaning to the author's images and analyzes the circulation and resignification of some of his photographs, moving from the news record to the construction of powerful stories and visual narratives with their own style that involved a rereading of everyday life and a devastating critique of power inspired by a new culture of human rights. The tracing of these first itineraries and repositioning allows us to historicize and rethink Cruz's work, dismantling and deconstructing some of the pieces with which one of the most complex and attractive visual maps in the recent history of Mexico and Latin America was drawn up.
