Santiago Arriaga’s series Hidrocarburos, exhibited at Leica Gallery Mexico City, captures the poetic stillness and vast solitude of desert landscapes through a cinematic lens. Created in collaboration with Daniel Anguiano, the series evokes the feeling of film frames suspended in time — fragments of stories yet to unfold. With a minimalist aesthetic and deep visual silence, the work reflects Arriaga’s ongoing exploration of memory, space, and emotional resonance.
