← ExploreDescription During his journey through Central America, Francisco Coto photographed the Volkswagen in which he traveled on numerous occasions, here with his family gathered inside. His own shadow stretches across the foreground, bringing him into the composition without appearing directly before the camera. The photograph thus becomes a form of indirect self-portrait, where personal experience and the act of photographing come together.
