Cristina de Middel develops images that encourage reflection in the viewer. Her photographic essay Journey to the Center, which investigates phenomena related to the migration route through Mexico, has an atmosphere and symbolism inspired by Jules Verne’s famous novel Journey to the Center of the Earth.
With a language that combines straight documentary photography with constructed images and archival material, the narrative becomes multi-layered.
The migratory route through Central America is portrayed as a heroic and daring journey. Mexico, the setting for this adventure, is presented as the fascinating and extreme country that it is.
