Get to know the work of Flor Garduño.
Her photographs create a bridge between the present and the past by portraying natural elements, such as water, trees, earth, animals, and atmosphere.
Garduño worked for the Department of Public Education in her native Mexico, traveling to rural areas to work with Indigenous communities. Thanks to this experience, she developed her style and got to know what she has referred to as the "profound truth" of the countryside in the Americas.
Her work was also influenced by photographers Kati Horna, who worked in a surrealistic vein, and Manuel Álvarez Bravo, who attended carefully to the tonal qualities of his photographs. Garduño similarly uses compositional and darkroom techniques to achieve moody, evocative images.
