The Ephemeral Art of Mexico City’s Food Stalls for the New York Times

"In the heart of Mexico’s capital, the colorful signs that have come to define the urban landscape of the city are being erased."

A couple of weeks ago I worked on a project by The New York Times documenting some of Mexico City's food stalls, focusing on the ongoing loss of iconic hand painted signs that decorate street stalls in central Cuauhtemoc neighbourhood, and those that still remain. With text by Natalie Kitroeff, the pictures can be seen on a microsite here.
