The Light of the Beast is the culmination of six years of work documenting migrants who leave Central America, travel through Mexico, and arrive in the United States as their final destination. Since 2007, British-Mexican artist Pablo Allison has attempted to understand life and its complexities by documenting migration and its consequences. What began as a series of illegal journeys on freight trains in Mexico, with no clear destination, has resulted in photographs of people fleeing extreme violence and poverty.
