12th Lanzarote Biennial: Lo que no vemos, lo que buscamos
The 12th Lanzarote Biennial presents Lo que no vemos, lo que buscamos, a series by Graciela Iturbide that explores the landscape as a space of mystery and origin. In this series, Iturbide transforms the landscape into a metaphor for the unexplored and for what remains hidden in everyday life.
The artist: Graciela Iturbide
Graciela Iturbide, born in 1942 in Mexico City, Graciela Iturbide studied film in 1969 but gravitated toward photography, working as an assistant to Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1970–1971). In the early 1970s, she traveled across Latin America, particularly to Cuba and Panama, beginning her photographic exploration.
In 1978, Iturbide documented the Seri people in Sonora, and in 1979, she photographed the Zapotec community of Juchitán, leading to her acclaimed series Juchitán de las Mujeres (1989).
Her work has taken her across the globe, including Cuba, India, and Paris. She has received prestigious awards such as the Hasselblad Award (2008) and the National Prize for Arts and Sciences in Mexico. She has also been honored with titles like an Honorary Doctorate in Photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2008.
Iturbide continues to live and work in Mexico City, developing significant projects.
