En una urbe atada a sus destrucciones y a la man�a mexicana de exterminar el pasado para merecer el presente, la colecci�n fotogr�fica de Carlos Villasana logra una doble proeza: detener el tiempo y el olvido . H�ctor de Maule�n
M�s de 10,000 ejemplares vendidos de La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), primera parte
Conocedor del poder de la fotograf�a para detener el tiempo un instante y capturar para la posteridad todo aquello que, por su naturaleza din�mica, pareciera destinado a desaparecer, el investigador Carlos Villasana ha dedicado gran parte de su vida a conformar uno de los archivos iconogr�ficos m�s completos sobre la Ciudad de M�xico. En este segundo volumen de La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), comparte ochenta nuevas im�genes de su colecci�n, algunas comentadas por la historiadora Isabel Revuelta Poo, que nos har�n viajar en el tiempo --desde comienzos del siglo XX hasta la d�cada de 1980-- por los diversos rincones citadinos y conocer a los personajes que los han poblado.
La Biblioteca Central de la UNAM, el c�lebre hotel Regis, el extinto Caf� Col�n, los preparativos de los Juegos Ol�mpicos de 1968 o un espect�culo de charrer�a en pleno Polanco son algunos de los momentos y sitios que se dan cita en estas p�ginas para rendirles homenaje a quienes construyeron esta urbe, pero sobre todo a quienes la han habitado y le han dado vida a cada uno de sus rincones y monumentos. En sus memorias, que nos legaron a trav�s de estas im�genes, podemos reconocer el eco de nuestras propias andanzas urbanas para vislumbrar no solo el pasado de nuestra ciudad, sino tambi�n su vibrante porvenir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"In a city bound to its own destruction and to the Mexican obsession with erasing the past to deserve the present, Carlos Villasana's photo collection achieves a double feat: stopping time and forgetting." --H�ctor de Maule�n
Over 10,000 copies sold of La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), first volume
Understanding the power of photography to freeze time and preserve what seems destined to vanish, researcher Carlos Villasana has devoted much of his life to building one of the most complete visual archives of Mexico City. In this second volume of La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), he shares eighty new images from his collection, some with commentary by historian Isabel Revuelta Poo, taking us on a journey through time--from the early 20th century to the 1980s--across the city's many corners and introducing us to the people who once inhabited them.
The UNAM Central Library, the famous Regis Hotel, the now-defunct Caf� Col�n, preparations for the 1968 Olympic Games, and a charrer�a show in the heart of Polanco are just some of the moments and places featured in these pages. They pay tribute not only to those who built this city, but especially to those who lived in it and gave life to its monuments and neighborhoods. Through these visual memories, we can hear the echo of our own urban wanderings and glimpse not only the city's past, but also its vibrant future.
