Sig. LIMITED, SIGNED & NUMBERED EDITION OF 7. "El Mundo Inalcanzable de Susana Sanjuan is a series of photographs based on the Mexican novel Pedro Paramo, a tragic myth of Mexico, by Juan Ruffo. The setting is a town in ruins; the characters, souls wandering in it, doing penance, telling their stories. These photographs are my attempt to depict this world as seen through the eyes of its tragic heroine. It is my homage in images to Mexico, to Juan Ruffo and to Susana San Juans everywhere who will not be possessed." --Josephine Sacabo.
