"The Museum für Photographie Braunschweig has assembled an impressive selection of 180 photographs from throughout Vergara's career. The exhibition and catalogue seek to reveal both the motivation and the impact of Vergara's work and show us how these powerful images can change our own understanding of urban ghettos. The selected images also reflect the special themes that drew Vergara's attention even as he continued to concentrate on his main goal of tracking change over time." (Zinkham).
