Codex. México 1986–2016 — Antoine d’Agata, Editorial RM, 2017

A relentless visual diary shaped over three decades, this book pushes documentary photography to its limits. Built from repeated journeys through Mexico, it merges still images, fragments and text into a fractured narrative of violence, desire and dislocation. Structured in six movements, it mirrors a slow descent—both personal and collective—where the photographer’s presence becomes inseparable from the world he records. In dialogue with figures like Tina Modotti and Henri Cartier-Bresson, it radically destabilizes the ethics and language of witnessing.
