I created this personage as a fusion of all these pictures that are sold on the streets of Lima: mode magazines, comics, devotional pictures, pornography, yellow press, etc. The locations for the shootings were abandoned places and houses under construction in Lima.
For this b/w photographs I worked together with the so-called "street-photographers" of Lima, who work in parks or in front of public offices. They used an old lens and a wooden box around it as a dark-room. The photographs are directly exposed onto paper sheets. No negative film is involved.
