I don't pretend to make my photographs speak the truth of what Mexico is all about. But in its villages I can feel the way culture is changing, and it's fascinating to live through it and try to capture it on camera.

The unconscious obsession that we photographers have is that wherever we go we want to find the theme that we carry inside ourselves.

In the end, photography for me is just an excuse to get to know the world.

I think that any photographer is an investigator. Photography is a pretext to know the world, to know life. To know yourself.

In a way my work is documentary. But I am also a photographer who has a distinct style. My photographs are a companion to the reality of the situation.

I love poetry, be it in music or be it in Andrei Tarkovsky, Francesca Woodman or anyone else, I just love poetry.
