All images Alex Webb\/Magnum Photos<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>In 1975, Alex Webb made two critically important trips that changed his life as a photographer, and, as he says, perhaps as a human being as well. Webb went to the US-Mexico border and to Haiti. Those two trips opened up the possibility of other worlds to the young photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Geographically and socially, these countries were worlds apart from New England, in the north-east of the USA, where Webb was raised. He has now wandered the world for more than 30 years, adopting a style of photography and awareness that is uniquely his own. In fact, it\u2019s only recently that he, by own admission, has managed to discover new and interesting photographs in his home country of the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Before all this, Webb had become interested in the art of photography in high school and, in 1972, he met Magnum photographers Bruce Davidson and Charles Harbutt in New York. By 1974, Webb was working as a photojournalist and just one year later was made a fully fledged member of Magnum. The work that followed found him treading the familiar grounds of his upbringing, specifically small-town America.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s of particular note during this period is that Webb\u2019s images were in black &amp; white, a complete juxtaposition to the work for which he is now famous. But then, juxtapositions are the kind of thing that Webb\u2019s images are notable for.<\/p>\n<p>This move from black &amp; white was fairly political and philosophical in nature. It wasn\u2019t just about a desire to try something new; it was about seeing the undercurrents of the world differently. Life, Webb points out, is not black &amp; white. Social situations are not black &amp; white. Politics are not black &amp; white. Black &amp; white suggests a world of clear distinctions, but life isn\u2019t like that. By moving into colour, Webb was forced to see the world, its history and its multiple structures differently.<\/p>\n<h2>On the street<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_97675&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-97675 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Nuevo-Laraedo.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Webb, La Calle Nuevo Laraedo\" width=\"1000\" height=\"671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Nuevo-Laraedo.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Nuevo-Laraedo.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Nuevo-Laraedo.jpg?resize=596,400 596w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Nuevo-Laraedo.jpg?resize=900,604 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Nuevo-Laraedo.jpg?resize=562,377 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, 1996 &#8211; vivid bursts of colour pop in the strong Mexican light<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>In La Calle, we find the fruits of a journey that began in 1975 and concluded (as much as journeys such as this have a concrete finale) in 2007. Every one of these images was taken on the streets of Mexico (\u2018la calle\u2019 translates from Spanish to English as \u2018the street\u2019) and is perhaps the most perfect expression of Webb\u2019s aesthetic and philosophical approach to his subjects as you\u2019re likely to find (although also worth exploring is the retrospective tome The Suffering of Light). That approach is open to debate. It\u2019s a visual and theoretical underpinning that\u2019s both risky and courageous.<\/p>\n<p>First, the visuals. Webb\u2019s images are stacked, chaotic, almost maddening. They\u2019re juxtaposed, layered, bursting palettes of colour, light and deep, dark shadow. Webb stacks the fore, middle and background of his frames to within an inch of their structural integrity. Flicking through the book feels almost like nervously looking at a suitcase that\u2019s on the verge of bursting open and covering the walls in your clothes. They\u2019re dizzying to look at sometimes, but once the initial visual vertigo has passed, once your eye has acclimatised to Webb\u2019s way of seeing the world, you\u2019ve got to admire his gumption. Not for nothing did photographer Dayanita Singh refer to Webb\u2019s images as \u2018migraine photographs\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s not that just that, that and that exist,\u2019 says Webb. \u2018It\u2019s that they all exist in the same frame. I\u2019m looking for something more. You can take in too much; perhaps it becomes total chaos. I\u2019m always playing along that line: adding something more, yet keeping it short of chaos.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_97676&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-97676 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Oaxaca.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Webb La Calle Oaxaca\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Oaxaca.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Oaxaca.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Oaxaca.jpg?resize=601,400 601w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Oaxaca.jpg?resize=900,599 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Oaxaca.jpg?resize=562,374 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/11\/Alex-Webb-La-Calle-Oaxaca.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Oaxaca, Oaxaca, 1982 &#8211; the interplay of light and shadow are key marks of Webb&#8217;s work<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>So if Webb\u2019s images embrace complexity and confusion, does that affect what neat little genre box we try to fit his work into? Of course it does. Webb\u2019s images are not strictly speaking of Mexico.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s more that they\u2019re from Mexico. The writer Geoff Dyer makes a good point when he says, \u2018Wherever he goes, Webb always ends up in a Bermuda-shaped triangle where the distinctions between photojournalism, documentary and art blur and disappear.\u2019 Sometimes within the same frame, staged events sit beside candid moments, creating a tension that is as admirable as the visual layering. Webb\u2019s work occupies a strange territory. It\u2019s both fact and fiction. In this way, perhaps we get closer to a truth than any straight document could.<\/p>\n<h2>SCORE: 5 out of 5<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97678\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/La-Calle-cover.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Webb, La Calle book cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"374\" \/>\n<p><strong>Published by<\/strong> Aperture<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price<\/strong> \u00a326, 156 pages, hardback<\/p>\n<p><strong>ISBN<\/strong> 978-1- 59711-371-7<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magnum photographer Alex Webb presents a body of work taken in and around Mexico.
