The souvenirs featured in the images belong to a tradition of handcrafts that has morphed to satisfy the taste and obsessions of national and international tourists at the Tijuana-San Diego border. These markets are also called curios shops. The word ‘curios’ is short for ‘curiosities’ or curiosidades in Spanish, or it can stand for curiosos, those who venture into someone else’s space.&nbsp; The objects in the photographs were purchased in different mercados de artesanías in Tijuana. Some items are incomplete, missing details and final touches, while others are finished or invented; some have been produced in the local market, and others come from the south of Mexico—perhaps even from China. These souvenirs—which are displayed as commercial objects, with some of the elements of catalog photography—are in dialogue with a group of images taken by U.S. photographers Adelbert Bartlett (1877-1966) and Harry Crosby’s (1926-) in Tijuana and California during the 1930s and 40s.&nbsp; https://lorenamostajo.com/02 Sun, 29 May 2022 23:14:38 +0000 lorena mostajo https://lorenamostajo.com/02 &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/733e2767bdff6c850eb20c72572d0eebce30e134b3cd211dffe82da1f88ed2d2/sunset_type2.jpg" data-mid="144014585" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/733e2767bdff6c850eb20c72572d0eebce30e134b3cd211dffe82da1f88ed2d2/sunset_type2.jpg" /> Sunset | Atardecer 2019 Photobook Intervened found images&nbsp;Riso and screen printing By intervening these images, I want to make evident the ways in which a group of tourist photographic postcards show eerie and enigmatic narratives about gender, class, race, and nationality. <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/32b6ec6133376a63ee40dcfbff655409e6140dce533a8d1187d3f381287741a5/sunset_type3.jpg" data-mid="144014587" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/32b6ec6133376a63ee40dcfbff655409e6140dce533a8d1187d3f381287741a5/sunset_type3.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/adf1a7feda6056a57c1cda380bca553af68696ff5843d16f25d690afd7c46073/sunset_type4.jpg" data-mid="144014588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/adf1a7feda6056a57c1cda380bca553af68696ff5843d16f25d690afd7c46073/sunset_type4.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45da54431f2d1013d7b8c2cde763b19d8b6614f1ccd4e13645d54d33ebc81697/sunset_type5.jpg" data-mid="144014589" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45da54431f2d1013d7b8c2cde763b19d8b6614f1ccd4e13645d54d33ebc81697/sunset_type5.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2173595e543a6cadba24116d807459f13ba34ba4da830ae2bc7c212ae7a32667/sunset_type6.jpg" data-mid="144014591" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2173595e543a6cadba24116d807459f13ba34ba4da830ae2bc7c212ae7a32667/sunset_type6.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d0881009d2af48bf7d970559e39d7a7573cd5b8abed769c8f9ecd10f0518c4a/sunset_type7.jpg" data-mid="144014592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0d0881009d2af48bf7d970559e39d7a7573cd5b8abed769c8f9ecd10f0518c4a/sunset_type7.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa442b4a0bce30b5bc54930b6813f0faa8d5f86d51164fa294236cbedbb77abb/sunset_type8.jpg" data-mid="144014595" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa442b4a0bce30b5bc54930b6813f0faa8d5f86d51164fa294236cbedbb77abb/sunset_type8.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a8121da806aeb6decb14dfa7570812fb685ef9ecaca3e5f74eaa47e2e2dc3c8f/sunset_type9.jpg" data-mid="144014596" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a8121da806aeb6decb14dfa7570812fb685ef9ecaca3e5f74eaa47e2e2dc3c8f/sunset_type9.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47d9bc61b9570e18bf7438926caffb7afcc90497b4ea9765e700b3f9a1f45a1c/sunset_type10.jpg" data-mid="144014801" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/47d9bc61b9570e18bf7438926caffb7afcc90497b4ea9765e700b3f9a1f45a1c/sunset_type10.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3683184b6cd90aa33c04b9875d4c182e557819c61c6546e4ad9b6f700b9e041b/sunset_type11.jpg" data-mid="144014802" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3683184b6cd90aa33c04b9875d4c182e557819c61c6546e4ad9b6f700b9e041b/sunset_type11.jpg" /> <img width="1209" height="529" width_o="1209" height_o="529" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e5cab307ae64ef39d6000f97de165f6f93da71b7de1bc3a9fe22451af4c96f6/sunset_type12.jpg" data-mid="144014803" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e5cab307ae64ef39d6000f97de165f6f93da71b7de1bc3a9fe22451af4c96f6/sunset_type12.jpg" /> https://lorenamostajo.com/03 Sun, 29 May 2022 23:14:38 +0000 lorena mostajo https://lorenamostajo.com/03 El Alto 2018-ongoing El Alto and La Paz are two adjacent Bolivian cities located in the Altiplano highlands.

Her work focuses on the ways in which vernacular and historical photographs, national imaginaries, global and local economies, immigration, and tourism intersect. She is also interested in the ways in which photographic images create hybrid genres and languages with other disciplines. She earned an MFA in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BA in Hispanic American Literature from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. She is also the founder of Taller California, a micro press for artists and writers from the Tijuana-San Diego region. In addition to her artistic practice, she has written about photography and co-edited two books with Mara Fortes, one about Chris Marker and the first Spanish translation of Amos Vogel’s Film As a Subversive Art.&nbsp;
