The Last City

Antonio Saborit

Margo Glantz

This book, an assemblage of photographic pieces, had an uncertain genesis. A contradictory memory of our ancestros, “the ancients”, when they were mountains, the primordial days of the volcano-woman and volcano-man, ana ge of giants that inhabit our imagination ando f geological forces that give a body and face to the Nation. In the center of Mexico it is common to find painted walls, ceramic Ware, calendars, key chains, drums, ashtrays, pony glasses, and a long etcetera of decorative objects bearing depictions of foundational myths, the origins of woman, of man, of the Nation, on ther motley surfaces. At the same time, the forms and styles of all this paraphernalia, the materials employed, the way it is distibuted and made use of, clearly reflect our collective visage. The ancient Mexican codices are fundamental documents in the country’s collective imagination. This book honors that memory.

During the project, each photographer replied to the last image of the other in a poetic, playful and intuitive, combining random from a ready-made with the complexity of the photographic memory.The bold design of this book reflects the process of artists: the specifications include an image made by each artist, repeatingthe last picture on the previous page on the first page of the nextsheet. To see each image twice produces a strange feeling and suggestive, repeating the instant method followed by photographers and encouraging the viewer to make connectionsunconscious.
