  In Los Sumergidos the authors construct the life of Teresa (1991-2063) and her disappearance in Catskill NY through a series of images and texts.
  
  Photographs by Alejandro Cartagena, Juan Madrid and Carlos Loret de Mola Text by Freddy Martinez, edited by Fernando Gallegos
  

  The photographs and interviews of Los Sumergidos were taken in Valle de Bravo and Ojinaga, Mexico, as well as Presidio, Texas; Catskill, New York and New York City.  They are places Teresa lived in or where she was seen.

  They are also places that Teresa might have visited or imagined.  It is unsure whether she ever made it to New York.  In the end, we have abandoned what follows as detective guesswork.  No person photographed can ever claim to be truly seen.  The photographs have been included to show what Teresa might have been and to offer some sense of why she left Valle de Bravo all those years ago.
