Μεξικό. Από την επανάσταση και μετά. Φωτογραφίες του Agustin Victor Casasola, 1900-1940 (Mexico. From the revolution and after. Pictures of Agustin Victor Casasola, 1900-1940)

The booklet accompanies the exhibition of the same name, which was held at the Benaki Museum, in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico, in October 2006, in order to bring to the fore the valuable Archive of the photographer. The origin of the archive dates back to the last years of the nineteenth century, when the photographer takes his first steps, and reaches up to his death in August 1940. The photographs, with their intensely historical character, capture, but also comment on, the peaceful period and the revolution, the new realities and the multiple aspects of modernization.
