"El Teatro De Los Hechos" is Mexican cult photographer Enrique Metinides' autobiographical 2000 survey of his more than forty years of capturing mayhem, murder, death, and destruction on the streets of Mexico City for the tabloid newspaper "La Prensa". Often referred to as the "Mexican Weegee", for decades Metinides was the first photojournalist on the scene of automobile accidents, plane crashes, industrial fatalities, fires, explosions, dismemberments, murders, and more - all documented with a grisly artistry.
Softcover, 19 x 22 cm. In very good condition.
