Jérôme Sessini :: The Wrong Side

From 2008 to 2011, the photojournalist Jerome Sessini submerged himself in some of the most violent Mexican cities—Culiacán, Tijuana, and Ciudad Juárez—and documented their increasing social decomposition. Recently published by Contrasto as a book titled “The Wrong Side,” these photographs offer vivid insight into the urban landscapes of the Mexican border.“I’ve always been fascinated by Mexico,” Sessini told me. “I felt it necessary to enter the houses, to hear the stories of the workers, prostitutes, and heroin addicts, and to show an image other than the cliché of the super-rich Mexican drug lord with a mustache and a golden rifle.”
