SATELUCO: FROM 10 TO 20. "A self-referential analysis of Mexico City's middle-class suburban life, this series by Dante Busquets examines social stratification within Mexican culture. This project, which received the prestigious acquisition prize in the XII Photography Biennial in Mexico, showcases suburban landscapes of the region that developed north of Mexico City in the 1960s. Busquets' exploration of his environment progressed as he sought to define, examine, and reaffirm various aspects of his identity, family, friendship, and society."
Curator Madeline Yale, Houston Center of Photography
