Nov 18th, 2019 : Carpool

The pictures are from a book.
Quote:
Offering a different take on ‘carpooling’ Alejandro Cartagena continues his pointed investigation of the multiple and complex issues relating to unhampered suburban expansion. These images show how carpooling is practiced by workers in México.

They are an acute observation to overgrowth issues in Mexico, where suburbs are being built in far away lands with no proper public transportation to the urban centers causing greater commutes and consumption of gas. Even though these workers are not conscious of the ecological impact they have by traveling this way as they are doing it to save time and money, they are a silent contributor to the preservation of our city and planet.


Quote:
Looking down at the scenes in this book as Cartagena did from the bridge, readers absorb one image after the next on page after page, ultimately lulled into a rhythm that evokes the haze of an extended road trip; after a while the scenery becomes an indistinct blur. This tactic is knowingly employed by Cartagena, pointing to the invisibility of the working class in a society that increasingly values material wealth, governed by leaders who continue to turn over land to development without a clear path forward. Cartagena challenges us to look closely.


Probably wetback Americans under the green tarp.
