Pieter Hugo, The snake charmer, Hermosillo

Pieter Hugo’s project LA CUCARACHA was created in Mexico in 2018 and 2019. This photo series depicts people and situations encountered by the artist during a total of four stays for several weeks, above all in Mexico City, Oaxaca de Juárez, Juchitán and Hermosillo. The portraits and still lifes bring to the fore the travelling artist’s openness towards generic yet unexpected situations.
