These photographs, which form part of the series Delirious Mexico, were taken during the month of January 2010 while traveling around Mexico, mainly in Mexico City, Guanajuato, San Luis de Potosí, and Xilitla. As Andre Breton once said, Mexico is the most surreal country in the world; all around Mexico I was surprised to still encounter situations that reminded me of the uncanny mood found in the films of Luis Buñuel and in the paintings of Frida Kahlo.

I shot one roll a day, walking through the cities, feeling somehow like a savage detective within a narrative created by Roberto Bolaño, not knowing exactly what would come out of the images… No wonder that the place that Buñuel chose as his home would end up throwing back at me a delirious dream. I want to go back to that dream and continue to photograph it.
