Border Documents is Arturo Soto’s intimate tribute to the twin cities of Juárez and El Paso, shaped through the lens of his father’s memories and his own camera. Blending oral history with quiet visual observation, Soto retraces the places his father once inhabited, photographing the everyday spaces where memory lingers. The result is a deeply personal meditation on how emotion settles into the built environment, and how stories can reclaim a landscape too often flattened by headlines. In contrast to sensationalist portrayals of the border, this book offers a layered, human-scale portrait rooted in nostalgia, presence, and quiet resistance.
