Descabezados by Jonathan Hernandez

A collection of works by Mexican conceptual artist Jonathan Hernandez.

This book compiles a series of works made from newspaper clippings published in Mexico in 2014. By composing newspaper headlines and photographs, which are sometimes exaggerated for their impact or biased reporting, out of their original context, Hernandez humorously re-enacts the mechanisms of news production.

For readers who cannot read Spanish, this collection of works brings to the forefront the symbolic appeal of typography as a form of written expression.
