‘In the morning, we dash along the sidewalks – you on your side, me on mine, watching as people cross the busy street.’

In I’ll Let You Be in My Dreams if I Can Be in Yours, photographers and longtime partners Carolyn Drake and Andres Gonzalez travel the US–Mexico border, creating an imaginative portrait of life in the borderlands. Photographing the same subjects from different angles, they capture everyday scenes that feel both spontaneous and staged. Their paired images reveal the serendipity of human connection while grappling with identity, balance, and relationships.

Reflecting on their own migration histories, Drake and Gonzalez avoid a single narrative, instead embracing the layered, shifting realities of life along the border.

NEW EPISODE OF THE MESSY TRUTH. In this episode, I talk to photographers and longtime partners Carolyn Drake and Andres Gonzalez about their collaborative project and book, “I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,” published by Mack. For the last five years, the two artists have traversed the border between Mexico and the United States, working together for the first time and ruminating on ideas about human connection, migration and the mechanics of photography itself. I loved talking to them about the reality of collaboration, and how as they studied the borderlands they were faced with an unavoidable reckoning that, over time, offered them a deeper understanding of each other and their work. Thank you @drakeycake @andresvgonzalez @mack_publishing 💫 by @andresvgonzalez

A collaborative portrait of life on the US-Mexico border

Photographers and longtime partners Carolyn Drake and Andres Gonzalez embark on a collaborative journey along the US–Mexico border, creating an imaginative portrait of life in these borderlands. Traversing towns and waterways together they photographed the same subjects from different perspectives, capturing everyday scenes that appear both staged and ad hoc. The resulting series of uncanny image pairings illuminates the serendipity of human connection while confronting the challenges of relating to one another, finding balance, and defying conventional identities.

I’ll Let You Be In My Dreams If I can Be In Yours by @drakeycake and @andresvgonzalez is now available at the Huis Marseille bookshop taken in Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography by @andresvgonzalez
