Mexico City Waltz is inspired by three texts – Tristessa by Jack Kerouac, Under the Volcano by Malcolm Lowry, and Voyage au pays des Tarahumaras by Antonin Artaud-, which provided Nicolas Comment with the keys to Mexico. Although he goes in search of the traces of these authors, he finally departs from his search and builds a subjective visual poem about Mexico today. There we meet three young women, “as brown as berries” (Lowry), who are the real heroines in the story. The title refers, in a ternary mode, to Mexico City Blues by Kerouac. Nicolas Comment sees in his photographic work a response to the concept of “spontaneous prose” developed by the writer: instantaneousness, accumulation, and musicality.
