The Enduring Spirit of the Vocho: A Photographic Exploration
This photo series delves into the enduring legacy of the Volkswagen Beetle in Mexico, affectionately known as the Vocho.
Beyond Nostalgia:
The Vocho transcends its function as a car, becoming a cherished symbol of family, adventure, and community. These customized classics, each a reflection of its owner's spirit, continue to captivate Mexicans across generations.
A Storytelling Machine:
Every Vocho whispers a tale. From parents sharing childhood memories to the vibrant clubs keeping the tradition alive, these cars spark a cultural connection that cuts across societal lines.
A Photographer's Journey:
Encountering the Vocho during street photography in Mexico City, I embarked on a project to document this cultural phenomenon. This ongoing effort, aiming for a published photobook, celebrates the vibrant spirit embodied by the Vocho.
