MEXICO MASKS | RITUALS
Photographs by Phyllis Galembo; Text by Sergio Rodríguez-Blanco and George Otis
Published by Radius Books/D.A.P., 2019 (ISBN: 9781942185574)
“Galembo’s book is a riot of colour – celebrating the individuality, creativity and craftsmanship that goes into these masks and costumes. Organised by festival, each collection of photographs is prefaced with text explaining the customs and figures that appear in each ritual. Bright, theatrical, uncanny at times, but full of life, it’s a fascinating, beautiful study.”
— Francesca Carington, Tatler

“Galembo’s photos combine a careful, almost ethnographic observation with a deep sense of mystical wonder and a palpable personal connection with the people that she photographs.”

“Most of all, the work is, in my opinion, not romantic — some of the stuff is hard, emotional, serious as death and as a result the beauty has depth.”
