Mary Ellen Mark (1940-2015).
Nacida en Estados Unidos.
Premio Hasselblad 1992, Premio Cornell Capa 2001, World Press Photo Award 2004 (entre otros).
Con relevantes y numerosos reconocimientos en el escenario internacional, Mary Ellen Mark se caracteriza por una estética documental profundamente humanista.
Interesada en comunicar la esencia humana y la identidad social de las personas fotografiadas, la artista ha desarrollado una poética visual que transfigura la rudeza de la realidad en una extraña y poética belleza.
Caminante y exploradora visual incansable, Mary Ellen Mark ha recorrido territorios, ciudades y naciones para atrapar las circunstancias humanas que la apasionan.
Considerado como uno de sus destinos más entrañables, México la recibe anualmente para compartir la esencia no visible de sus imaginarios; una esencia que la creadora ha logrado atrapar a través de sus poéticas fotográficas.
Difundidas a través de exposiciones museísticas y galerísticas, libros y revistas como LIFE, New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker y Vanity Fair, la obra de la prestigiada fotógrafa ha sido compilada e interpretada en publicaciones de importantes editoriales, entre las cuales, se cuentan Phaidon y Aperture.
