Dr. Lakra y Graciela Iturbide
Graciela Iturbide and Dr. Lakra agreed to collaborate blindly on this book project in 2016. The 20 photographs in the book were taken by Ms. Iturbide in Los Angeles, California, in 1984: the originals as Kodachrome slides, hitherto unpublished. The photographic images were printed in off-set, 4 color hand separation, from zinc plates. The plates were made and printed in Merida, Mexico. The images are hand-tipped, one to each page. The words accompanying the photographs are Dr. Lakra’s own. They were taken from a conversation that took place late one evening at La Popular, Oaxaca, on May 12th, 2016. Dr. Lakra made the end papers: a deep etch copper plate engraving printed on yellow paper. The piece by Ms. Iturbide wrote regarding her photographs was published by Luna Cornea Magazine in 1987. All text was printed in handset typography in Oaxaca. The binding, also hand made in Oaxaca, is a loose hard cover, the boards covered in printed, yellow paper with a black Percalina spine and borders. The pages are sewn by hand with black thread.
