Result of a three-year research project, led by James Oles, Mexichrome.

A large number of the photographs exhibited are unknown, even to experts in the field, which come from various sources, including the Televisa Foundation photographic archive, as well as museums, archives and private collections both in Mexico and abroad. Bringing together for the first time, these images not only reconfigure and challenge an established photographic canon, but also highlight themes shared across decades. Likewise, they reveal discrepancies and contrasts between photography considered "artistic" and photojournalism, while placing in context the work of contemporary artists, few of whom call themselves "photographers."
 The exhibition will be accompanied by a significant catalogue, the creation of which has been possible thanks to the generous support of Fundación Televisa and Fundación Jenki.
