These photos were taken in Mexico City and Oaxaca. Most of the colorful buildings are from Oaxaca, where everything seemed to be in an equal state of decay - the posters seemed embedded in the peeling walls. In putting them with the other images I was thinking about places where things collect both intentionally (posters) and unintentionally (debris and wear and tear from human activity) and how it all seemed kind of the same.
