YVONNE VENEGAS – MARIA ELVIA DE HANK SERIES

Posted on 2010-07-05

In her series on Maria Elvia de Hank, photographer Yvonne Venegas offers a view into the life, family, and environment surrounding the wife of eccentric millionaire and former Tijuana Mayor Jorge Hank Rohn. Venegas focuses on Mexican privilege and gender, exploring how her subject—the wife of one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in Mexico—submits, with a perfectionist touch, social and aesthetic ideals portrayed through a scrim of light and dust in Northern Mexico.

Opposite – Ana y Amigas, 2008, digital print, 40″ x 50″
