San Pedro Garza Garcia, a municipality in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, founded in 1882, currently has a population of around 150,000 inhabitants. It is one of the wealthiest and most highly developed localities in all of Latin America.
The families in San Pedro form a complex social fabric, in which status and power are gauged differently than in the rest of the country. Society magazines and the social pages of newspapers are important in understanding how the members of this community interrelate. It is a society familiarised with the camera, which is acknowledged as a natural part of life. Thus, San Pedro Garza Garcia proves a fertile terrain for photographer Yvonne Venegas, as shown in this new photobook, the fourth she has published so far.
