Will open the photo exhibition "Identity" in Queretaro.
The photo exhibition "Identity", by Mark and Ruben Alejandro Cartagena, who portrayed the faces of the residents of 25 municipalities in the state of Nuevo Leon, whose aim is that the viewer establish whether or not there is a stereotype of the citizens of this region, will be opened on Friday.
Between that day and the May 27, 51 large-format photographs, may be admired at the Centro Cultural Manuel Gomez Morin, the city of Queretaro.
According to a communique from the Department of Cultural Diffusion of UNAM, the authors say, 850 people difrerentes social strata and occupations agreed to be photographed in a natural manner, without false pretenses, without poses, without special makeup or hairstyles.
Cartagena explained that the intention was to test whether there was a tendency on the identity of the inhabitants. "We wanted to find a common feature or significant nuevoleonenses that might identify them as if they are still very ranchers or are already inserted into modernity", it argued.
After nine months of work they did in the 850 photos, Cartagena pointed out that from the beginning saw that there was an unrealistic way of being nuevoleonés.
At the conclusion of the work confirmed that no one trait and that Comum refers to the appearance and clothing, but not the essence. "The last word has the spectator," he said Cartagena.
