Day of the Dead inspiration in 'Mexico Masks Rituals,' photographer Phyllis Galembo's classic monograph from @radius.books & D.A.P. Publishing. Galembo's images allow us to reflect on the "eternal present" of ritual celebrations, essayist Sergio Rodríguez Blanco writes. "Those who look back at us from these photographs are not the individuals, but the rituals captured in real time, as unabated, materialized symbols depicted in a mosaic of almost unrealistic forms, textures and colors, similar to abstract paintings. While these photographs cannot capture the eternal present of ritual time, the wearers of masks and costumes whose chromatic range seems to overflow from these pages are there posing for the camera, detained in the fixed time, also eternal—perhaps also sacred—of photography." Featured image is "Catrina, Axtla Jacaraondosas Group, All Saints' Day" (2016) from the Xantolo festival in San Luis Potosí. All Saints' Day is the last day of the three-day festival.

Who doesn't ❤️ Cinco de Mayo?! We're celebrating with a look back through 'Mexico Masks Rituals' by NYC photographer @phyllisgalembo !! Since 1985, Galembo has traveled extensively to photograph sites of ritual dress in Africa and the Caribbean. In this body of work, Galembo turns to Mexico, where she captures cultural performances with a subterranean political edge. Using a direct, unaffected portrait style, Galembo captures her subjects informally posed but often strikingly attired in traditional or ritualistic dress. Masking is a complex tradition in which the participants transcend the physical world and enter the spiritual realm. Masks, costumes and body paint transform the human body and encode a rich range of political, artistic, theatrical, social and religious meanings on the body. In her vibrant color photographs, Galembo highlights the artistry of the performers, how they use materials from their immediate environment to morph into a fantastical representation of themselves and an idealized vision of a mythical figure. In a gorgeous, fascinating photographic survey of Mexico’s masking practices, Galembo captures her subjects suspended between past, present and future, with their religious, political and cultural affiliations—their personal and collective identifications—displayed on their bodies.

Happy to see this feature on ‘Mexico Masks Rituals’ author @phyllisgalembo in @photographmag !! #Repost ・・・ "Maske, an exhibition on view at Florida’s Boca Raton Museum of Art (@bocamuseum) before it closed temporarily because of the coronavirus, showcases the unique place that Phyllis Galembo has established for herself in contemporary photography. For more than four decades, she has been traveling primarily throughout Africa and the Americas to catalogue the costumes of ritual performance and celebration. A visual ethnographer with an aesthetic approach, Galembo has compiled an increasingly important cultural archive, as her most recent book, ‘Mexico Masks Rituals’ (Radius/DAP), makes abundantly clear. As societies change and practices disappear or are transformed, her portraits not only retain the details of cultural production, they also serve as a continuing celebration of creativity and a reminder of the value of human diversity."⠀ ⠀ From @photographmag’s March-April issue, read the #Interview with Phyllis Galembo (@phyllisgalembo) by Lyle Rexer (@lylerexer). ⠀ ⠀ 📷Phyllis Galembo, Affianwan, Calabar South, Nigeria, 2005. ©Phyllis Galembo, Courtesy Axis Gallery⠀ ⠀ #photograph #photographmag #PhyllisGalembo #Interview #LyleRexer #newsletter #photography #read #stayhome #stayathome #reading #mask #maske #mexico ⠀@radius.books https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cXKbsJeYc/?igshid=1fncv4wz45xsj
For anyone looking to get away from this season's out-of-the-box vampires, ghosts, skeletons and witches, old school DIY Halloween and Day of the Dead inspiration can be found in Phyllis Galembo's fascinating new photography monograph on the ritual masks, costumes and cultures of Mexico. Worn on festival days that often combine elements of indigenous and Catholic holidays, the masks, costumes and body paint that Galembo documented over several years traveling throughout of the country are all highly symbolic and specific to the characters of each regional festival. @somethingcurated writes: “Masking is a complex, enigmatic and profound tradition in which the participants transcend the physical world and enter the spiritual realm. In her vibrant images, Galembo depicts an ornate code of political, artistic, and spiritual symbolism and commentary.” #phyllisgalembo #mexicomasksrituals #mexico #masks #masquerade #ritualmasks @radius.books @phyllisgalembo https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uc1QmpaZZ/?igshid=1jr68kb682cdv
We’re celebrating Corpus Christi with 'Phyllis Galembo: Mexico Masks Rituals' Today the Catholic world celebrates the festival of Corpus Christi, honoring the real presence of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the flesh-and-blood person who was also the son of God. So we're featuring these 2016 photographs from ‘Mexico Masks Rituals,’ Phyllis Galembo's new monograph documenting the ritual mask cultures of Mexico. In the Corpus Christi festival in Temascalcingo in the state of Mexico, "the townsfolk make huge masks, don outlandish costumes and transform themselves into characters known as the xita or huehues (the old ones)," George Otis writes. "They represent the ancestors who send the rains, and the theatrical ceremony is a kind of offering to them. The body of Christ is referred to as corpu viejo (the body of the old one), and this is probably not a coincidence: in many indigenous traditions the deceased Christ is considered to be the embodiment of all the ancestors." #corpuschristi #corpuscristi #phyllisgalembo #mexicomasksrituals #mexico #masks #masquerade #ritualmasks @radius.books @phyllisgalembo https://www.instagram.com/artbook/p/By8SJK1FEyc/?igshid=nk84qklvwsn5
