These photos were taken in Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City. The exposition at the time was Cuentos Magicos (Magic Tales), a chronological presentation of the work from Leonora Carrington. She was born in an upper-class family in northern England, live in France where she joined the surreal movement, but it was later in her life until Carrington moved to Mexico where her art thrived. She struggled to fit in her home country as well in France and Spain. However, she found in Mexico a place to call home. If you want to learn more I post some links.

Yes, it is nothing but just sad. I can easily become a nihilist if I were forced to place in such a situation. There seems no hope on Earth. No Peace here and there... we can be easily blinded by nothing to hope...(BUT I wanna see some positive strengths in human beings who are stupid but good) Thanks for posting up.
