Made in and around his adopted home of Mexico City over a period of roughly six years, \u003ci\u003eÓrale\u003c\/i\u003e's photographs pulse with the lifeblood of a country marred by suffering but consistently renewed by the promise of redemption. Through Hurst's lens, the reader absorbs ancient rituals and new cults, beauty and degradation, danger and tenderness, lust and longing. With the flinty eye of a hard-bitten street photographer and the soft touch of an aesthete, Hurst shows us not just Mexico but the human condition itself. This monograph includes an introduction by acclaimed photographer and activist Nan Goldin, an essay by \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e photography critic Chris Wiley and an afterword by Hurst's husband of 40 years, Robert Swope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Hurst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218799922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunters Point Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Michel Hurst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48242033885439,"sku":"9798218799922","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b5f2b25-61a5-4cdd-be22-69673a66e873.jpg?v=1772657176","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/michel-hurst-michel-hurst-9798218799922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
