Antonio Turok is recognized as one of the foremost photographers in contemporary Mexico. Born in 1955, in Mexico City, his base for the last 25 years has been in Chiapas. He has photographed extensively throughout southern Mexico, Central America—and the barrios of the United States. Both of his books—an earlier volume of photos from Nicaragua, and his 1998 collection from Chiapas, El Fin de Silencio (The End of Silence)—have been internationally acclaimed. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the 1994 Mother Jones Award for Documentary Photography. He currently lives with his companion Marietta Bernstorff in Oaxaca.
