Photographer Daniel Patlán is showcasing the intimate side of musician Ed Maverick's recent tour through an exhibition titled "Memories of the Cloud in the Garden (Live)". The collection features 86 photographs capturing the artist's journey since 2018, a period marked by intense online bullying.

One particular photograph, taken during the song "Arcoíris" in León, stands out for Patlán. It depicts fans illuminating the venue with their phone lights and colored cellophane, a moment he describes as representing Ed Maverick "enjoying in a spectacular way what he does, filling all the places, not with people, but with energy, with the presence of his voice." This image symbolizes the profound connection between the artist and his audience.

For me that photo represents that, it is seeing Ed enjoying in a spectacular way what he does, filling all the places, not with people, but with energy, with the presence of his voice, that moment for me represents that union.

The exhibition also includes a photobook with 300 images and a vinyl record, available for purchase. These works document Ed Maverick's concert at Sala Nezahualcóyotl in 2025, a show that began two hours late due to a severe panic attack. Patlán commends Maverick's vulnerability, stating, "It seemed very brave to me that he would say on stage: 'Listen, I started late because I had this episode.' It's the most human thing, it's the best way to connect, and he is someone who I believe has fought a lot for that humanity."

It seemed very brave to me that he would say on stage: ‘Listen, I started late because I had this episode.’ It's the most human thing, it's the best way to connect, and he is someone who I believe has fought a lot for that humanity.
