Eduardo del Valle is a Cuban-born photographer who has worked collaboratively with his wife, Mirta Gómez, for over thirty years. Since the mid-1980s, the couple has focused their practice on documenting rural areas and small towns in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. Their work captures subjects in states of transformation, specifically focusing on the effects of seasons and man-made modifications to domestic architecture. Del Valle's photography is noted for its documentation of vernacular architecture and the radical transformation of native culture in the region. He has received international acclaim, including two Guggenheim Fellowships (1997) and solo exhibitions at major institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.[2,3,4]
