The « Mexican Interiors » series presents portraits of artists, craftsmen and collectors who stage poses in their own interiors. These intimate spaces are as many small private museums where they amass objects that bear witness to the blend and melting pot that is Mexican popular culture. Antiques, traditional and folk objects, works of art and vernacular images all rub shoulders and portray Mexico of yesterday and today. Each photograph is first and foremost an encounter, an intimate and personal story which opens us up to the collective story that the objects reflect. The image is saturated in form and colour in the spirit of Mexican Baroque, but the saturation is more a reflection of the world we live in. If viewers are lost when faced with this combination of detail, it is the better to invite them to change their position : from someone who contemplates the image, they become detective, trying to reconstitute a puzzle at the risk of missing pieces anyway. The series proposes a jumble of signs which grouped together provide clues and starting points to stories which attempt to question our outlook on what it is to be Mexican.
