Legendary Mexican photographer Paulina Lavista has captured many iconic moments in Mexico’s cultural life in the 20th Century. She has photographed many subjects from the Mexican art and cultural scene as well as images of people in everyday activity.

Lavista’s portrait work included images of Octavio Paz, Juan José Gurrola, Ofelia Medina, María Félix, Juan José Arreola, Jorge Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo, Gabriel García Márquez, and Emilio Fernández. 

The exhibit she has prepared for Fotoseptiembre USA 2022 Instantes del Teatro de la Vida – Personajes de la Cultura en México (Moments of Life’s Theater – Cultural Personalities of Mexico) includes portraits and everyday moments of life itself. It is a poetic approach to the image that captures both the action and the spirit of the fleeting moment.
