Pieter Hugo, The lovers, Hermosillo

Pieter Hugo is well known for his urgent portraits and everyday scenes captured at a wide variety of locations around the world. His project LA CUCARACHA was created in Mexico in 2018 and 2019. Young people, old people, a wedding, prostitution, combat sports, slaughtering of cattle, a nudist beach, and a forensic facility – the images run the entire gamut of the comédie humaine. This is how people live together – in their time, at specific locations and in this one world.
