Synopsis

Reading this book resembles walking through an infinite street-art gallery in Mexico City: Di Rosa masterfully revives the elements of folklore but transforms them from stereotype to archetype. His style takes on popular Mexican art and the observer comes across with a comic-street stand-market version of mariachi players, lucha-libre fighters, women, nature, history and all that salsa. There is so much movement that in the end flipping the pages leaves the impression of having read a traveler's notebook, with no guide nor map and almost any text but with the souvenirs of a journey took on from one image to another. This is an artist's book.

Text in English, French and Spanish.
