This is the first museum exhibition for artist Reynaldo Rivera, featuring never-before-seen photographs from his archive. The exhibition showcases over forty black-and-white and color photographs from the 1980s through today, alongside a film newly edited from Hi8 footage.

Rivera is self-taught, so his first subjects were those closest to him, including his sisters, who remained muses for decades. His work is inspired by the theatricality and deep emotion of boleros and ranchers, Old Hollywood and the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, and predecessors like Brassaï and Cartier-Bresson. The artist uses various lighting techniques to reveal his subjects as they want to be seen.
