Modern Mexico City in Juan Guzman's Photographs at ICME

An exhibition titled 'En donde no cabe un alfiler, bien caben dos ruleteros' at the Instituto Cultural de Mexico en Espana (ICME) in Madrid showcases the photographic work of German-born photojournalist Juan Guzman. The show presents a selection from his personal archive, now part of the Fundación Televisa collection, focusing on his documentation of Mexico City's rapid mid-20th century transformation into a modern metropolis.

Guzman's work is significant for its unvarnished portrayal of the social and urban contrasts that defined this period of explosive growth. The exhibition preserves the legacy of a key visual chronicler, capturing the tension between cosmopolitan development and marginalized spaces, and highlighting the human dimension within the changing urban landscape.
