Sensual female nudes and exquisite still lifes form this collection of symbolic work by acclaimed Mexican photographer Flor Garduno. In contrast to her first three books, which were essentially diaries of her travels throughout the Americas, 'Flor Garduno: Inner Light' is a diary of her personal, interior landscape.
The images - still lifes, nudes, and portraits of her daughter Azul - were taken in and around her homes in Mexico and Switzerland. Relying on the quiet elegance of natural light, she has created a stunning series of photographs, beautifully reproduced here in tritone, that bring a magical lyricism to black-and-white photography.
The introduction by Veronica Volkow, a highly respected Mexican poet, explores the metaphorical qualities of Garduno's images and the sensuality inherent to both the flower and the nude.
