RUBÉN ORTIZ TORRES
sold out!
$45 USD
Rubén Ortiz Torres, a Mexican artist based in LA, participated in Mexico City’s countercultural scene during the 1980s. Mexipunx is a Riso-printed book of Rubén’s photographs of that time. Animated by the aesthetic of the Mexican zines of the 80s—loud, bold, and ephemeral—this edition brings to life a project of youth. These intimate and arresting portraits show how a group of Mexican adolescents and young adults were interpreting what it meant to be punk, queer, underground, and above all, rebellious on all fronts.
Foreword by Mariano Villalobos.
︎Signed edition of 100!
50pp, Risograph printed, 3-color screenprinted cover, metal rings.
