Rebellious Forests

A collection of unique photographs from the Purépecha region of Michoacán, Mexico, which present a world that rebels against the changes of history in a constant desire not to disappear.

The images in this book highlight two viewpoints: on the one hand, that of the Purépecha themselves, a forest civilization marked by an indomitable spirit of rebellion and a desire to present their virtually unchanging world; and, on the other hand, that of a photographer astonished by the events unfurling around him who portrays them in a unique, unrepeatable record. Both these viewpoints intertwine to create images in which the spiral of time becomes so dense that it seems to trap the reader in this ancestral world.
