"Chapalingas" is a collection of works by American photographer Rosalind Solomon. Since the 1970s, Solomon has been known for her photographs that capture the inner workings of people living on the margins of society and the human condition within cultural and religious rituals. She has been acclaimed for her sharp insight and poetic gaze. Her work is characterized by an intimate perspective that transcends the bounds of documentary, and her relationship with her subjects seems to permeate the image. This book, published by Steidl in 2003, is a representative collection of her work, featuring a collection of photographs taken over the past 30 years in the United States, Latin America, India, Egypt, and other locations, organized by themes such as "food," "vehicles," "play," and "faith." The works portray common human activities that transcend race, borders, and cultures, with warmth and sometimes poignancy. Each photograph is accompanied by Solomon's own words, creating a unique world where vision and memory, poetry and reality intersect. Although it is a massive work of over 460 pages, each photograph leaves a deep impression, making it a book that can be said to be a culmination of her perspective and sensibility.
