Graciela Iturbide, Nuestra Señora de las Iguanas (Our Lady of the Iguanas), 1979, gelatin silver print, 10 × 8″.
GRACIELA ITURBIDE’S formidable photographic oeuvre testifies to how inextricable Mexican identity is from the experiences of colonization and religious syncretism. Her images are repeatedly described as poetic, and they certainly operate metonymically, making parts stand for a whole.
