| 101 crime-scene classics from the Mexican Weegee."Enrique Metinides spends his time away from the drama of the city. It's not that he has disconnected, he has not. He watches the news, buys newspapers every day. He keeps in touch with his friends in the Red Cross, in the fire brigade and the police. It is a decade since he stopped taking photographs in the street and his work today is more about the images he made, the past and the new life they now take on; less about the event itself. Nota Roja, the tabloids he used to work for, have changed he tells me. He is not pleased. The blood soaked sensationalism caught on cell-phone cameras has nothing to do with his practice.
Metinides is adamant that his philosophy combined documenting with respecting. That's gone he argues, today it's all about sensationalism, not about considering the victims, nor their families. Metinides has chosen to put down his camera. He is adamant his vision has little to do with the harsh imagery that accosts one at each intersection and traffic light of the city, It's not that Metinides doesn't look at this work, he does, in detail. In fact he catalogues it and maintains an archive, but he sees his own work as distinct from the photographs that fill today's press."

| | | 101 Tragedies of Enrique MetinidesEdited and with introduction by Trisha Ziff. | 101 Tragedies is Enrique Metinides’ selection of the key 101 images from his half-century of photographing crime scenes and accidents in Mexico for local newspapers and the notas rojas (or red pages--for their bloody content) crime press. Alongside each image, extended captions give Metinides’ account of the situation depicted--the life and characters of the streets, the criminals, the heroism of emergency workers and the sadness of bereaved families--revealing much of his personality in the process. Thirty of the selected photographs are paired with their original newsprint tearsheets, preserved by Metinides, the typography of which has inspired the design of this book. The images are compiled by Trisha Ziff, a filmmaker and curator who knows Metinides well, and who here contributes an essay about his life, work and personality. The first overview of the photographer in many years, 101 Tragedies is also the only Metinides monograph comprised of images chosen by the photographer himself, and which offers his own account of his life’s work.
Enrique Metinides (born 1934) worked as a crime photographer for more than 50 years, capturing murders, crashes and catastrophes for Mexico’s infamous crime magazines. He has won numerous prizes and received recognition from the Presidency of the Republic, journalists’ associations, rescue and judicial corps and Kodak of Mexico. In 1997 he received the “Espejo de Luz” (Mirror of Light) Prize, awarded to the country’s most outstanding photographer. His work has been shown at numerous international venues, including The Museum of Modern Art and Anton Kern Gallery, New York; Photographers’ Gallery, London; and Les Rencontres d’Arles Photographie, Arles, France.Featured photographs are reproduced from 101 Tragedies of Enrique Metinides. | |
