A celebration of the ancient Mexican worldview
My photobook “Ñundeui, al pie del cielo”, published in 2008 in Mexico City, illustrates with handsome, topless Indian women of the late sixties an ancient Mexico that has disappeared. Apparently everybody likes the photographs, but the pre-Columbian poetry and pictograms of the book went unnoticed. For a second edition I have enhanced the pictograms by applying colors, textures and depth to their outlines. The result is a celebration of an awe inspiring ancient cosmovision. The strange beauty of Aztec pictograms fascinates with its magic and mystery. For Western sensibilities they are truly exotic and psychedelic. It is a joy to highlight their appeal and, hopefully, to thrill with their beauty and exotic worldview.
