Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

How does a country reproduce and export its cultural capital? By selling it to tourists. Here, a street artist decides how his country will be remembered. His images will become more real than the reality they represent. But, they were never meant to depict reality. They were painted to give tourists what they wanted to see, not what they actually saw. [2013]
