In summer 2010, while poking around at a stall in Mexico City’s sprawling thrift market, Las Lagunillas, artist Stefan Ruiz discovered a batch of photographs from the city’s police archives. Over the next few years, Ruiz purchased hundreds more such photos from the vendor, who refused to reveal his source. The yellowing black-and-white images included mugshots, stills of an armed robbery, and artists’ impressions of both notorious criminals and stolen jewelry. Ruiz was fascinated by this rarely seen visual history of crime in mid-century Mexico. Now, his collection is compiled in a book, Mexican Crime Photographs, published by GOST.
