LA FRONTERA: Artists along the US Mexican Border

Stefan Falke has traveled the entire length of the 2000 miles border in the fall and winter of 2012/13 and photographed painters, photographers, musicians, writers, architects etc … mostly but not exclusively on the Mexican side of the border. He has portrayed over 150 artists in all major Mexican cities along the border and also a few on the US side.

The project is an important archive of artists working in an area that gets unnoticed in the art world. The site highlights the artists rather than focusing on the photographer. I came across this project after reading this article in the NY Times.
