Santiago Melazzini’s short moving pictures—
flip books—of literally black-and-white and
figuratively colorful Mexican life are as lowtech
as it gets: watch the masked luchadores
bounce off the wrestling-ring ropes and then
fall to the mat, watch the boxer punch, the
Mariachi band play, or the tequila have its
way, and then watch it all again backwards.
An elemental pleasure and an ideal gift.
