Look closely: the systems are hiding in plain sight. For more than two decades, Alejandro Cartagena (alexcartagenamex) has used photography to examine the structures that shape everyday life—from housing and infrastructure to labor, migration, and climate change. Rooted in northern Mexico, his work resonates far beyond it, including in the Bay Area, where soaring housing costs and growing wealth disparity shape everyday life. In “Alejandro Cartagena: Ground Rules,” his first retrospective, these projects come together to invite close looking—and reflection on the rules that structure our world.
