XILITLA BY DANIEL MALKA PHOTOGRAPHY A PHOTODOCUMENTARY

GEORGINA AVILA AND ALL THE PEOPLE FROM MEXICO GRACIAS

yellow princess -Georgina Avila en Xilitla, Edward James Gardens, Central Mexico Rainforest

Under the thick fog and rain, we walked through stones gates, passages, stairs and more gates to nowhere.
The perfect universe, castle, for a yellow princess. A surrealistic domain built by an Englishman 50 years earlier..
Absurd mazes and structures withstanding time and blending into a wet green world that would grow forever.
It was just as I had imagined, she defied heights and mazes, as much as she defied the odds for us to betogether.
She was so little, so frail, yet as tall and strong as these sculptures, reaching out to infinity.

This is her kingdom I thought, It’s time for me to go.

my sun is setting

As I watch her, in the distance, camera in hand, I realize that I am standing En La Sombra Del Tiempo.
I once was in the light, on the other side, standing as shiny and as tall as these absurd monuments.
I have no fears except for one. not seeing her anymore, on the day that this heavy metal door shuts.
All I hoped for was, that when, that moment came, she would hold my hand.
If not, it didn’t matter anymore, since all had been written, and no one and no time could ever take it away.

hold my hand, hold me, my love

now
that everything has been written
all that remains is, hope, silence, images, nostagia, and their shadow

en la sombra del tiempo
love, happiness, pain, and the absurd are inseperable

ahora
que ya esta escrito todo
solo queda la esperanza, el silencio, las imagenes, la nostagia, y su sombra

pero nunca el olvido

en la sombra del tiempo
la felicidad, el amor, el dolor, y el absurdo son inseperables
