"With secrets drawn from her archive, Graciela ITURBIDE creates a curious world in which the human subjects we encounter in her widely-known portraits are absent.
In the photo book 'Asor', the human subject is the reader alone, dream borne, on a journey in which all places remain nameless, time cannot be ascertained, and the course is lost to the imagination.
Loosely inspired by 'Alice in Wonderland', ITURBIDE constructs her intimate and contemporary extension of Lewis Carroll's classic tale without words, making equal use of the narrative and compositional elements of her photographs to startle her readers with visual riddles and quick shifts of perspective."
