Antoine d'Agata (France, b. 1961) showed the series "Mala Noche" in Wonderland, the main exhibition of Noorderlicht '99. In its raw, confrontational black and white images, he revealed life on the fringes in the slums of Mexican cities. His new series "La Frontera" can be seen as a follow-up to this project. D'Agata travelled to the Mexican-American border, where he, this time in colour, recorded daily life. His (sometimes literally) moving photos afford a journey through the violent, often dark urban landscape.
