Pablo Allison – Light of the Beast: Expanded 2nd Edition

69,00 €

BEYOND THE STREETS Publishing is pleased to announce The Light of the Beast, an expanded 2023 version of the acclaimed book originally released in 2020 by multidisciplinary artist Pablo Allison – featuring extra graffiti-related content, with 100 new and never-before-seen additional images.

The Light of the Beast is the culmination of six years of work documenting migrants traveling from Central America, through Mexico and into the United States as a final destination. Since 2007, British/Mexican artist Pablo Allison has tried to understand life and its intricacies by documenting migration and its consequences. What started off as a series of illegal voyages on freight trains in Mexico, with no clear destination, resulted in photographing people escaping extreme violence and poverty.
