  This reminds me of Avedon's work! So great, so natural! What a delicate pose.

  This image is part of my portafolio "Género, Número y Personas" (2004-2007) which has been photographed in the streets of Mexico City during the GLBT pride.This work can be seen as a homage to the photographer Richard Avedon, because it takes frivolity to be a matter as serious as social trespass. However, my personal contribution to this homage lies in the great difference between depiction and its testimony. Eschewing the technical paraphernalia—setups and re-shootings that give Avedon’s photos a theatrical and thus repeatable tone— I sought the opposite: to directly capture a phenomenon that is unrepeatable in its particularities, which is the annual parade of thousands of persons who celebrate their differences by exalting them. Isolated from the Parade visual noise by means of a white backdrop improvised on the street, the subjects in these “frozen” shots allegorize on their bodies the identifying traits of the world to which they aspire, a world that can be conquered only by trespassing the norms of others.
