Description

Explore the forgotten regions of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula with Susana Ordovás. This book is an ode to the merging of the ancient with the contemporary, showcasing the faded splendor of both neglected and restored homes. Photographer Guido Taroni's evocative images reveal the decadence and beauty that remains in the region's diverse, contrasting styles, from Renaissance to Baroque, Medieval to Moorish. The houses, once lavishly decorated mansions, now stand as remnants of an illustrious past, their "forsaken, decaying ruins" awakening from a centuries-old siesta. Three specially commissioned maps of the region have been beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Jesús Cisneros, setting the houses in context. Susana Ordovás's detailed commentary celebrates the eccentric, distressed charm of these magical lands, highlighting their unique character and beauty.
