Alejandro Cartagena's Favorite Books of 2023

Montaña Roja — César Rodríguez.   Published by KWY Ediciones.

I like books that tell the same story through the images and how they are designed. It is a book that narrates the complicated reality of the state of Guerrero in Mexico, where people colloquially say they live with "el Jesús en la boca" (with Jesus in your mouth).


Alejandro Cartagena, Mexican (b. 1977, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) lives and works in Monterrey, Mexico. His projects employ landscape and portraiture as a means to examine social, urban, and environmental issues. He is also the co-founder of Los Sumergidos publishing house and Fellowship Photos, where he works to publish work from Latin American artists and projects of artists considering the intersection of photography, video, and generative art.
