About the Item
“A photographic series that introduces us to the Afro-descendant that has lived in Mexican territory since the time of the conquest. The project speaks allegorically about the past of this black community and its members’ journey through the fluctuations of colonial history, their integration into the Mexican territory, and their sense of identity within it.
Yet that past isn’t merely a descriptive historical concept; it is, above all, a definition of the present. A present, in the case of their Afro-Mexican descendants, that remains marginal, unstable, and immemorial.”
International Center of photography IPC NYC
“Beginning in 1570, enslaved blacks were brought in large numbers from Africa to Mexico as the principal workforce in various domains, such as mining, cattle-raising, and fishing, but also housekeeping and other occupations. Today, about ten percent of Mexicans identify as black. After the struggle for independence had begun and slavery was abolished, blacks formed communities mainly in Veracruz and in the Costa Chica region of Guerrero and Oaxaca.
It was in this region of the Pacific coast that I first encountered this culture of African descent. I understood its importance and realized how it had remained invisible throughout the history of Mexico. In spite of being the country's “third root”, it was not until 2015 that it even began to be acknowledged by Mexico’s constitutional laws.
Spurred on by personal curiosity, I started researching what eventually led to The Maroons and Their Fandango, a project in which photography allowed me to translate into images certain historic elements that refer to the current construction of the identity of people who refer to themselves as Afro-Mexican.”

- HUICHOL: MOUNTAIN, DESERT, NEW YORK (`95-`21). Limited edition of 5.By PABLO ORTIZ-MONASTERIOLocated in Ciudad De México, MXDocumentary Photograph. Contemporary Inkjet on cotton. Limited edition of 5. Signed front and verso. Framed in lacquered black frame with spacer) The first person to photograph the Huichol in their remote communities in the inaccessible canyons of the Western Sierra Madre was probably the Norwegian anthropologist, Carl Lumholtz. He ventured into their territory in 1895, shortly before the arrival of the French naturalist and ethnographer Léon Diguet, who was also a photographer. Like so many who were engaged with documenting Indigenous peoples across the Americas in those brutal years of expansion and settlement, Lumholtz believed that the disappearance of his subjects was inevitable: “the weaker must succumb to the stronger, and the Indians will ultimately all become Mexicans.” The photographs of the Huichol by Pablo Ortiz Monasterio—taken on some twenty trips over the past three decades—prove that Lumholtz was fortunately, terribly wrong. They reveal abundant evidence of cultural survival (what the Huichol call “la costumbre”), made possible by their extraordinary resistance to the religious, nationalist, and economic forces that have long assaulted—and that continue to assault—Indigenous communities everywhere. Though Ortiz Monasterio is also an outsider, he does not operate—like Lumholtz or Diguet—as an old-fashioned preservationist, nor is he confident in the superiority of Western culture, nor is his work only destined for museum vitrines...Category

- Seascape VI - large format photograph of cloudscape horizon and endless seaBy Frank SchottLocated in San Francisco, CASEASCAPE VI by Frank Schott 72.5 x 58 inches / 184cm x 147cm signed edition of 7 60 x 48 inches / 152cm x 122cm signed edition of 7 archival quality fine art pigment print limited art edition published by Edition EKTAlux artist signed + numbered certificate of authenticity Frank Schott grew up in Germany and attended the prestigious Academy of Arts in Cologne, studying under Professor Arno Jansen, who was an early influence. Moving to California in 1998, Schott's work has evolved to include the epic landscapes of the American West as well as architectural, conceptual and more formal environments from both home and his travels. Influenced by a number of photographic piers and precursors such as Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, Hiroshi Sugimoto, William Eggleston and Joel Sternfeld, Schott's images successfully blend technical, conceptual and formal rigor with a decisive sense of composition and color. Schott's images have an iconic sensibility and give us a bird's eye view onto humanity and its constructs. The specific is edged towards the abstract, often revealing the compelling and disjunctive moment where nature meets man. Frank Schott was born in Cologne, Germany in 1962. He currently lives and works in San Francisco. ________________________ Edition EKTAlux offers an evolving curated selection of collectable large-scale photography in strictly limited editions, while working closely with each artist to guarantee state-of-the-art museum level print and framing quality.
