Mineral de Pozos, Guanajuato.
Mineral de Pozos Story 2003 -2017 I have always maintained that our origin is not confined to any particular country; the label on our passport merely signifies the place where chance brought us into the world. Regarding my own roots, I cannot pinpoint them precisely, but what I do know is that certain locations in Guanajuato, such as Mineral de Pozos, deeply resonate with me. I began capturing moments in this locale back in 2003 and have consistently returned whenever possible. The vibrant atmosphere, unusual for a ghost town, and my fascination with the textures and imprints of time keep drawing me back. Hacienda 5 señores 2015 Photo by René Serrano R. From 1880 to 1888, Mineral de Pozos experienced a period of prominence and prosperity. Numerous companies, including Cinco Señores, emerged during this time to extensively exploit the mines, particularly those like La Joya, Nayalito, and Justicia, reaping substantial profits.
