Graciela Iturbide, Our Lady of the Iguanas, Juchitán, Oaxaca, Mexico, 1979, gelatin silver print
Across two concurrent exhibitions in Berlin and San Diego, Graciela Iturbide’s photographs, primarily taken in Mexico, trace the fragile thresholds where ritual and everyday life meet. Her black-and-white pictures record bodies, landscapes and objects via an eye that is attentive to the way movement and meaning emerge from gesture, shadow and repetition. At C/O Berlin, her first major retrospective in the capital city, Iturbide will present iconic series such as Juchitán de las Mujeres (1979–1988), which documents a social world shaped by female autonomy, plurality and resilience, alongside photographs that have rarely been displayed.
