Peep Show is a set of sui generis essays on the subject of photography that deals with violence in contemporary Mexico. Based on the photographs of Fernando Brito, Adela Goldbarg, Mauricio Palos, Guillermo Arias and others, who have captured very crude images without detracting from their artistic value, the author combines chronicle, criticism and essay with the main objective of conducting research on violence, in particular focusing on the relationship between the corpses of those executed and the urban context of their discovery. "In retrospect, I observe how State violence has diversified its forms of visual production and in the face of this I am interested in continuing to think about the disruptive capacity of images, that is, in its particular way of questioning the subjectivity of the spectator and of reshaping our affections and our own capacity for reflection in the face of this pain that is no longer only of others, but after some time it's becoming our own." (HKB Translation) --Page 9.
