Have A Beautiful Death
The photographs of Enrique Metinides are very serious business. Reminders of how sweet life is and to be careful with self important rushing around in your cars during the busy holiday season. Pause and take care!
As a photographer of accidents, disasters and tragedies, 70 year old Enrique Metinides has spent more than fifty years taking pictures of every tragedy imaginable in Mexico City.
His work documents a macabre history of the city and its deterioration from the relatively peaceful and naive capital of the fifties to the schizophrenic megalopolis of the 21st century.
