About the Book
In this unforgettable series of photographs, Daniel Borris returns from journeys made over several years through central Mexico like an explorer of old, bearing evidence of remarkable things seen. These Mexican soccer fields are emblems of devotion to a game that is humanity’s planet-wide obsession, the consummate sport of our age of globalization. Borris discovers a way of seeing them that conjures memories of Mexico’s ball game of antiquity. His canchas de fútbol can appear as scenes for some unknown rituals; we find them largely empty, vacated by priests and worshippers alike, they are imbued with a strong sense of memory and expectation, the sacred space of human ceremony.
