Fan from Mex (English version)

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 26, 2009, 1:00 PM
There is a strange and winding love-hate relationship between Mexican fans and pop culture because of the constant tension between anti-imperialist feelings and secret guilty pleasure for the american dream.

The first indication of achievement to the authors of images called "undeground or cult" that fascinate both adolescents and young adults belonging to certain Mexican intellectuals who, despite their comertial in certain cases, as works of art.

The woman is a key character in my photographs because of the large number of perceptions and personalities that can be reflected into icon and part of popular culture, with its re-charging our northern neighbor with which we have.
The idyllic beauty of women is represented by its characteristic dark, disillusioned and even sordid, denoting multiple scenarios where you can be victim or victimizer and yet never lose that special something that make them being admired.

From the glamorous beauty of the thirties when the woman was seen as something that the ethereal with the tattoos became a more mundane, there are a lot of shades in the situations in which it operates, where it may be against any adversity-even zombies with being beautiful and never miss the glamor, the victim herself vulnerable and beaten by his ego, to the eternal and alluring stereotype of college girl, which, in its apparent innocence is hiding dangers, he has the power to drive anyone to their whims.

My obsession with the U.S. cult film and consumption of it, led me to create all these characters, even beyond real life, creating a relationship between the fan and the movie similar to what I have with women and my idols ; on some fiction or narrative,making them my own, creating characters with which we end up in love with and making it my guilty pleasure.

–"Fan from Mex"

Existe una extraña y sinuosa relación de amor-odio de los fans mexicanos hacia la cultura pop estadounidense debido a la constante tensión entre sentimientos anti-imperialistas y un secreto placer culpable por el american dream.
El primer indicio de conquista se debe a los autores de imágenes llamadas “de culto” o “undeground” que fascinan tanto a adolescentes como a adultos jóvenes pertenecientes a diferentes sectores de la intelectualidad mexicana, que a pesar de su “aire comercial” en ciertos casos, las reciben como obras de arte.

La mujer es un personaje esencial en mis fotografías debido a la gran cantidad de percepciones y personalidades que puede reflejar para convertirse en ícono y parte de la cultura popular, con la resignificación de su percepción en nuestro vecino del norte con la que tenemos nosotros.

La belleza idílica de la mujer es representada por sus rasgos obscuros, desencantados e incluso sórdidos, que denotan múltiples escenarios donde puede ser víctima o victimaria y aun así nunca perderá ese algo que la hace especial y admirada.



Desde la belleza glamourosa de los años treinta cuando la mujer era vista como algo etéreo a la que con sus tatuajes la convertí en una visión más mundana; hay una infinidad de matices en la situaciones en las que se desenvuelve, en las que puede contra cualquier adversidad -incluso zombies- con el hecho de ser hermosa y nunca perder el glamour; la víctima de si misma vulnerable y golpeada por su ego, hasta el eterno y seductor estereotipo de la colegiala, en la que, dentro de su aparente inocencia se ocultan peligros, pues tiene el poder de manejar a cualquiera a su antojo.

Mi obsesión por el cine de culto estadounidense y el consumo de éste, me ha llevado a crear todos estos personajes, trascendiendo hasta la vida real, creando una relación entre el fanático y el cine similar a la que tengo en con las mujeres y mis ídolos; partiendo de cierta ficción o narrativa, apropiándome de ella, creando personajes con los que al final terminó enamorándome y haciéndo de éste mi placer cupable.

I promise to make this entry in english soon

I did some cleanup on my gallery, some things i dont like anymore, and some that where stolen without crediting me... some colaborations went away, and now im moving for something else!
Soon im going to make photos for editorials in magazines.
And i have a project in mind.
My next pics are going to be about vampires, not the classic gothic thing, i was thinking about a retro rocker style, like on the lost boys, but ...well, youll see.
Hope you dont mind i erased some of your favorites, but i was angry to see that i took some pics of some friends in guadalajara and uncredited me, and they putted only to the girl that made some photoshop work.
I also erased some self portraits...i just noticed im ugly as hell, and specially on those pics.
Thanks!
And hope to see you around soon.
