Developed from extensive collaborative work between public and private bodies, the project Develar y Detonar. Fotografía en México, ca.2015 is a publication produced by Ana Casas Broda, Gabriela González Reyes and Gerardo Montiel Klint.

Mexico is a country that has undergone profound social, political and ideological transformations; a changing nation that intersects with a medium that adapts and transforms vertiginously: photography. In recent years, photographic production and circuits in Mexico have grown exponentially.

In this sense, Develar y Detonar. Fotografía en México, ca. 2015 seeks to open up this complex and fertile panorama for reflection, which detonates in new and risky ways of constructing the photographic discourse.

This book reviews current photographic production through a curatorship in which the contrast, clash and encounter of images and discourses opens up the possibility of a new look at Mexican photography.

The authors presented here, from different generations and geographical origins, come together to draw a complex, contradictory and disturbing map of contemporary Mexico, with the aim of raising questions and opening up photography to reflection and dialogue. On the one hand, to "unveil" new ways of looking at and producing images, and on the other, to "detonate" a reflection on the contemporary photographic image.
