Summary:If Pop art entreated that we appreciate the beauty in the ubiquitous aesthetic of advertising, Monzón offers global cities full of pathos. The opening series of black-andwhite photographs, each sprawled across a double-page spread, share similar compositions and subjects: individual pedestrians, centered in the frame, walk down the street of a bustling city. ORDER concludes with a series of black-and-white duotones presented on bright, canary-yellow pages, where subjects, no longer blind recipients, broadcast their own messages via their clothing's mantralike slogans-STAY REAL.
