Kahlo

Frida Kahlo without her paintings, which are protected until 2054. The Casa Azul in Coyoacán, the wardrobe sealed after her death and reopened decades later, the Trotsky house up the road, her photographers, her circle and the neighbourhood she lived in. A facet built entirely from the world around the work rather than the work.
