Marisa Polin has worked in this summer in Mexico to complete her new series "(Not)
guilty".
The theme includes aspects such as the war on drugs, the
drugs' cartels and petty crime. The series mainly alludes, however,
to the way crime is depicted in the yellow press. It is about criminals being
found guilty before having been tried;
and crimes being photographed as in a
set theatre.
A light is added by the typical
nicknames of infamous criminals.
Through her paintings and drawings
Marisa Polin tries to go to the origin of these crimes and portray
those related, guilty or not.
