T-Shirt #023 by Alinka Echeverría
T-Shirt #023 in DoBeDo's 'Photographers T-Shirt Series’ is by Alinka Echeverría. Echeverría is a Mexican-British artist, working in film and photography. The image for this T-Shirt is taken from ‘The Road to Tepeyac’; conceptualised as an immersive photographic installation. It consists of 125 images of devout Mexican pilgrims carrying their personal images of the Virgin of Guadalupe on the anniversary of her apparition in 1531.
“What is the connection between seeing and believing? What is it that makes us need images, crave images in order to feel a connection to the divine?” - Alinka Echeverría
The T-Shirt includes a postcard pack with different images from the series and a printed insert with the story of the Virgin of Guadalupe. ‘The Road to Tepeyac’ is embroidered in white cotton braille on the front, with a colour print of a pilgrim on the back.
DoBeDo's 'Photographers T-Shirt Series' started in 2009 and has included over thirty photographers over the last fourteen years. T-Shirts are also available via our 'Photographers T-Shirt Series Subscription.'
