RASTRO es un libro de fotografía en blanco y negro porque no podría ser de otra manera, porque es atemporal como el propio Rastro de Madrid, ese mosaico ecléctico con forma de mercadillo y cuatrocientos años de tradición. Es un relato mudo que cuenta la historia que no sale en los titulares pero que ayuda a construir la Historia con mayúsculas. Es el reflejo de un estado de ánimo y la historia de una mirada.

This is an anthropological essay that studies social dynamics of Mexicos city from the perspective of its inhabitants. An analysis about the relationship of their everyday life with the history of the city is made from questionnaires and the exhibitions of images to a group of people- taxi drivers, traffic cops, deliverymen of goods, students, housewives, street sellers and middle class motorists.

"The birds, now immobile were organized in a scanner and converted into disturbing [photographic] images that maintain their vigorous splendor, sumptuous colors; the eternal presence of the beautiful "Duino Elegies" where poet Rainer Maria Rilke sings to the lethal birds of the soul and the beauty of the angels that announce their death are the inspirational reference for the artist"--Colophon. Includes short story "The man who spoke with birds" by Ethel Krauze.
