“The story of my travels in Mexico is a love story. An ardent love for a country not my own and people not related to me.
I’ve crossed the border between Mexico and the United States dozens of times over the past 30 years. Passing to “the other side,” I feel as though I’m entering a mirrored reflection of the world I just left. Things are different — yet recognizable. It reminds me of looking through the ground glass of a view camera.” – Emily Matyas
“La historia de mis viajes en México es una historia de amor. Un amor ardiente por un país que no es mío y gente que no tiene relación conmigo.
He cruzado la frontera entre Mexico y los Estados Unidos mile de veces en los últimos 30 anos. Es solo una linea, pero pasando al otro lado, siento como si estuviera entrado en un reflejo del mundo que acabo de dejar. Las cosas son diferentes — pero reconocibles. La sensación es como mirar a través del lente de una cámara de vista.” – Emily Matyas
