José Luis Cuevas: The Smelly One

Zone Zero... José Luis Cuevas: The Smelly One (26 black & wite photographs). "...Its official name is 'Salon Orizaba' and perhaps it’s the most singular beer hall in all of the old downtown Mexico City.

La Apestosa is a place of encounter for alcoholics and prostitutes. This photographic essay documents the relations between them and the atmosphere of the place. A dark place where alcohol and sex reign."
